Kale Pesto
This was part of the menu of the very first cooking class I taught in 2008. It remains a favorite. Whether much of it makes it into a dish--of pasta, eggs, beans or simply spread on toast--remains a question. By the spoonful at the counter, however. . .
Use hazelnuts, walnuts or even toasted pumpkin seeds if you don't have almonds. And substitute Parmesan or an aged Asiago if you don't have Pecorino.

Quick Chickpeas and Pasta with Rosemary
This is delicious, fast, easy and nutritious. If using home-cooked chickpeas I use the chickpea cooking liquid for part of the liquid, top it off with water and then season with some bouillon. Use vegetable stock or just water if that's what you have, just make sure to season it with plenty of salt and pepper.

One-pot Tomato and Sausage (or Bean) Pasta with Greens
15 minutes, start to finish, adaptable and delicious and a good reason for having canned tomatoes and small pasta shapes in the pantry. You can use larger shapes and more of it (more like 3 cups of penne). You can substitute cooked beans/chickpeas for the sausage for a meat-free version. You can use parsley instead of basil, skip the greens, use fresh tomatoes instead of canned . . . just make it.

Minestrone
Talk about a template; minestrone is a bean and vegetable soup and, loosely defined, can use any bean, any shape of pasta (or no pasta), most any vegetable and herb, meat or no meat (diced bacon or a little sausage is good, added when cooking onions) be hearty and stew-like or light and brothy. For me, what makes or breaks minestrone are the beans and the bean broth. You can certainly use canned beans but home-cooked beans with their broth ar... Read more »
Chickpea and Chard Curry with Tomato and Coconut Milk
This is a fairly quick, flavorful curry and you can use whatever leafy greens you have (feel free to increase the quantity of greens). I needed to use up some leeks when I made the above version which adds sweetness. Adding the fresh, mashed garlic at the very end adds a nice dimension.... Read more »
