Cooking Tips
Any combination of greens will work in this recipe. Try kale, mustard greens, arugula or broccoli rabe. Just keep in mind that some greens cook more quickly than others. Make this a vegetarian dish by simply removing the Pancetta and adding your preferred additions like crispy tofu or extra veggies.
If you don’t have pancetta on hand, you can substitute bacon or prosciutto.
