from our garden earlier in the day- three different mustards, collards, kale. Left out the mushrooms and broth - used some olive oil - used scallions instead of garlic, used lots of red pepper flakes, only a dusting of parmesan - served tossed with whole wheat spaghetti. Yum!

It sounds so good after a hard day at work.

Not too heavy, yet very tasty and satisfying...
