Steps
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. For the final 2 minutes of cooking add your greens to the pasta pot to cook. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid and then drain the pasta and greens mixture.
  3. Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, cooking for 2 minutes until softened. Add the garlic cooking another minute. Add the wine and beans and cook another 2 minutes until reduced by half.
  4. Add the pasta and greens mixture to the dutch oven and stir to coat. Add ¼ cup of the pasta water and ½ cup parmesan, tossing often until the sauce is thickened. Season to taste with salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
  5. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with olive oil and top with the remaining parmesan and lemon zest.
