Instructions
- Rinse uncut produce in fresh water. Remove the core and chop the escarole in 2” pieces. Triple wash the escarole as it is very gritty and sandy.
- Bring water and salt to a boil, add pasta and stir. Cook 7-8 minutes until al dente (firm to the bite). Reserve about a cup of the pasta water for later. Drain pasta and reserve.
- Mince garlic, 1/4” dice the onion. Rinse beans well in a strainer.
- In a large sauté pan, add the oil over high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent but not burned. Add mushrooms, escarole and cook to reduce, about 2 minutes.
- Add beans, tomatoes and salt and pepper. Let cook for a couple minutes. If all of the liquid is evaporating, add some of the reserved pasta water. Add cooked pasta and butter. Cook for about a minute and toss together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Divide equally into four serving bowls or plates. With a micro plane, shred a tablespoon of fresh parmesan over each dish. Serve immediately.
