CSA member shared this recipe, adapted from one she found online, for a pasta dish that makes use of abundant summer peppers and greens. Any of the cooking greens could be used in this recipe, such as arugula, Swiss chard, spinach, or spicy mustard greens; you could also roast your own CSA garlic if you have it on hand!
