Sauteed Kale (or other greens)

1 bunch kale (or other greens- mustard, bok choi, etc.)
garlic
butter

Melt butter, saute minced garlic, and saute greens. Eat. Mmmm.

Spaghetti alla Rucola

2 T butter
1 large bunch arugula, washed and cut into bite size pieces
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 lb spaghetti noodles
optional: garlic

Bring a pot of water to boiling for the pasta, and follow the directions for cooking on the package. In the meantime, melt the butter in a saute or saucepan large enough to hold all ingredients. If using garlic, mince, and saute, and then add the arugula, and wilt it (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the heavy cream and the cheese, and simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens. Toss the cooked noodles in, and stir until the noodles have absorbed some of the sauce.
