Pasta and Greens
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, trim and wash greens, leaving the leaves whole. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to boiling water. Add greens and blanch until wilted, from 30 seconds for chard to 2 minutes for lacianto kale, use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the leaves to a colander and rinse them under cool water. Boil pasta until tender to the bite. Drain, reserved 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, and set aside. Meanwhile, chop anchovies, if using, garlic, and cooked greens.
