    Categories: Pasta, Greens, Cheese, Herbs
    Yield: 4 Servings

    Salt & black pepper
    4 c Chopped spinach, Swiss chard
    - or other mild greens;
    - tough stems removed
    4 c Chopped arugula, watercress
    - or other peppery greens
    1 c Chopped fresh dill or
    - parsley leaves; w/tender
    - stems, or a combination
    6 Scallions; trimmed, thin
    - sliced, whites & dark
    - green separated
    1 lb Tubular or curvy pasta
    2 tb Unsalted butter
    4 cl Garlic; peeled, thin sliced
    8 oz Cream cheese; in 1/2" cubes
    4 oz Mozzarella; grated
    4 oz Crumbled feta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set the
    oven @ 450ºF/232ºC.

    In a 3 quart/9" X 13" baking dish, toss the chopped
    spinach, arugula, herbs and scallion greens with 2
    teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Squeeze
    the mixture with your hands to wilt, then set aside.

    Cook the pasta in the boiling water until 2 minutes shy
    of al dente; reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta
    and set aside. Return the pot to the stove.

    Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add the
    scallion whites, garlic and a pinch of salt, and sauté
    until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and
    pasta water and stir until smooth. Stir in the wilted
    greens, half the mozzarella and half the feta until
    combined. Stir in the pasta until combined. Taste and
    adjust seasonings as needed.

    Transfer the pasta to the baking dish, then top with
    remaining mozzarella and feta. Bake until the sauce has
    thickened and bubbly and the top has browned in spots,
    10 to 15 minutes. If you like a crisper top, broil for a
    few minutes.
