Sicilian Greens & Tomato Soup
This Sicilian Greens & Tomato Soup is a simple soup and it’s great in the summer when tomatoes are at their best. It calls for tenerumi, but if you’re not in Sicily, fear not — any soft leafy green, or combination of leaves, will work well in this soup. Pick your favorite, we happen to like spinach, make a big pot, and mangia!

1. Put spinach with water still clinging to the leaves into a medium nonreactive pot. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until leaves have wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer spinach to a bowl and set aside. Wipe pot dry with paper towels.
2. Heat oil in the same pot over a medium-low flame. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add reserved spinach and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt, sauté 2 minutes to mix. Add the water and season to taste with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Increase heat to medium-high, and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer soup for 10 minutes. Add spaghettini, and cook until pasta is tender, about 6-8 minutes. Add one tablespoon of grated Parmesan and adjust seasonings. Serve with more Parmesan for grating at the table.
