Instructions:

  • Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to directions.
  • Drain quickly, reserving a bit of cooking water, and set aside.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed 12″ skillet over medium heat and toast the pine nuts until they start to turn golden and fragrant. Pour them out of the skillet and save for later.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and pour in a tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle in a big pinch of red pepper flakes and the garlic and stir.
  • Once the oil is hot enough to shimmer, toss in all of your collard greens.
  • Sprinkle the greens with salt. Stirring often (try not to let them clump), sauté the greens for about three minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat. Scoop the greens into the pasta pot and toss with another drizzle of olive oil, adding pasta water if necessary.
  • Divide onto plates, top with pine nuts and Parmesan shavings and serve with two big lemon wedges per person.
