Submitted by: admin on April 2, 2020

Serves 4

Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano or 1⁄2 teaspoon dried
1 head escarole (1 pound), trimmed and sliced 1⁄2 inch thick
3⁄4 cup water
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
Salt and pepper
8 ounces orecchiette (2-1⁄4 cups)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add escarole, 1 handful at a time, and cook until completely wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in water and bring to gentle simmer. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Stir in beans, cover, and continue to simmer gently until flavors meld, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often, until al dente. Reserve 1⁄2 cup cooking water, then drain pasta and return it to pot. Add sauce to pasta and toss to combine. Add reserved cooking water as needed to adjust consistency. Serve.
