"We serve this along with steak and a baked potato. You can drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil on top before serving. Serve with crusty Italian bread. Navy beans work in this, also."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Pour enough water into a large pot to be about 2 inches deep; bring to a boil. Stir 1 teaspoon salt into the boiling water; add escarole. Cook the escarole at a boil, pushing the escarole further into the water as it wilts, until it is fork-tender, 3 to 5 minutes; drain.
- Pour olive oil into the pot and place over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in hot oil until the garlic is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir drained escarole and cannellini beans into the garlic mixture; cook and stir until the beans are hot, 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the mixture just before serving.

Loved this! I used spinach instead of escarole because, depending on the season, sometimes I find escarole to be a little bitter. Also, instead of water, I cooked the spinach in chicken broth. I...

This is SO good! I did make a change- I used arugula because I always have it and that eliminated the need for boiling the greens. (when I added the greens I also threw in some shredded leftover...
