1 pound cranberry beans in their pods (1 cup, shelled)
1 bay leaf
6 sage leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 medium carrot, finely diced
1 or 2 bunches of sturdy greens such as kale, collards, or mustard greens
1 medium-sized red onion, finely diced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 pound penne or other short pasta
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

1
Remove the beans from their pods and place in a small sauce pan with a quart of water, bay leaf, half the sage, the carrot, 1 clove of the garlic, and a little olive oil. Bring to a boil and cook until the beans are creamy and tender, 20-40 minutes depending on size and age of the beans. Add more water if needed to keep the beans just a bit soupy, which will be a component of the sauce later. Season to taste.
2
Chop the greens and heat a second pan with some olive oil, then add the onion and cook gently until soft. Add the remaining 3 garlic cloves, the remaining sage, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. After a couple minutes, add the greens along with a splash of bean cooking water or water from the tap, and cook until tender.
3
In the meantime, bring a large pot of salty water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente.
