Call it recession-core cooking or call it Tuscan-inspired dining -- either way, these simple beans and greens are quick to whip up and full of Italian flavor. We like this recipe for a quick vegetarian lunch, or a light side dish with fish or chicken. (Thank you to our friend Katie Shatzer for creating this wonderful recipe.)
