This recipe, which features humble ingredients but standout flavor, is a great example. Beans and greens are a classic pairing in Italian peasant cuisine (as well as in many other cuisines from around the world), known as cucina povera ("poor cuisine"). Brothy cooked-from-dried beans and wilted hearty greens like Tuscan kale or chard, which can last for a long time in the fridge, together create dishes that are simple, quick, filling, and healthy. They can be served as a soup or stew, cooked down to a drier consistency to use as a topping for crusty grilled bread, or, in this case, combined with starchy pasta cooking water for a creamy, noodle-coating sauce. The kitchen essential  Straight-Sided Skillet For this recipe, you'll need a straight-sided skillet for building your sauce. Start with aromatics, then the beans, then the greens, and finally the pasta. More recipes for all those beans!
