Ingredients
Kale, 1 cup, chopped Arugula, 0.25 cup, choppedNavy Beans, 2 cup (1 can, rinsed)Lemon Juice, .125 cup (fresh squeezed)Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1.5 tbsp Garlic, 3 cloves, pressedRed Onion, 0.25 cup Salt, .25 tsp1/2 rsweet appleBarilla Piccolini Mini farfalle, 3 small handfullsFeta Cheese, 3 cubic inch Zucchini, baby
Directions
make 4 reasonable sized portions

Put up water to boil for the pasta, and sautee the chopped red onion over very low heat, with salt, until translucent. This should take as long as it takes the water to boil

While sauteing, rinse and chop the kale, chop the zucchini, and rinse the arugula. When you put the pasta in, press the garlic into the onions,and add the kale and zucchini ( I forgot to add a pinch of red pepper flakes, which would go well here). Mix and cover for 2 minutes. Add the beans and mix through. Add chopped apple and lemon juice just before you take the pasta off to drain.

Mix the pasta into the greens, add salt & pepper to taste, add the feta to each serving. Use it sparingly, a little goes a long way in this dish.
