great recipe, made this for my family, huge success. I added some chicken stock and crusher red pepper. Also, if you want add a cup of the water from the penne after you have mixed the ingredients, it will add a little juice to dip your bread.

I had to add some meat to it for my family, so I added mediteranian seasoned turkey sausage and a package of spinach instead of the escarole. Excellent!

This is a very good, simple recipe. I followed it exactly, except I only used 1/2 of a 13oz bag of chopped escarole, which was still plenty. Great for a simple dinner or a side dish - and very healthy, too!

I thought this dish was extremely easy to make and very good. I followed to a tee except that the diced tomatoes I purchased were with garlic and olive oil. I also used a much smaller portion or the escarole but I think it's easy to eye-ball how much is needed. Very quick, wonderful side dish. Will make again!

This recipe left alot to be desired. It lacked flavor and was not moist at all. Maybe if I just cooked the escarole first then added the beans. Just not what I expected. Probable will not make again.

The was great! I blanched the escarole for 1 min. first and added chicken broth and diced onions and crushed some fresh garlic, using plain canned diced tomatos. This is a keeper!!

Fantastic! I added 3 cloves of garlic, a small onion and a small amount of green pepper (all minced) and 2 tbs olive oil. It is one of our favorites. We make it at least once a week.

We really liked this. Easy to prepare, my husband cooked this for dinner tonight (and he doesn't cook very often, so if he can make it, anyone can). It was initially a little bland for our taste, so we took the suggestion of some other reviews and added some salsa, 1 1/2 grilled chicken breast halves, and a little cheese to the dish. Very yummy, easy, healthy, and very budget friendly!! Only cost us about $3 to make, and there are tons of leftovers!! Yeah, that means dinner for another night!!

Loved this and so did my (hard-to-please) husband. I used only a half-pound of (whole wheat) penne, and I added: one sliced onion, sauteed; two cups of baby spinach; 1/3 cup juice from pepperoncini peppers; a little sea salt and pepper; and a small bit of leftover diced ham. A sprinkle of grated romano cheese made it perfect.

I thought this was sort of bland, and I think I cooked the escarole too much.

This ended up pretty boring after I made all my changes. I skipped the greens, added onion and garlic, Sully liked the beans.

This was delicious, I did saute garlic and onios and instead of escarole, I used spinach. I didn't think that it was as good the second night, it tasted better when the pasta and beans were firmer.

I added the pasta al dente and served it as a soup. A little crushed red pepper and topped with some fresh parmesian cheese.
