NUTTY WILTED LETTUCE PASTA

Steps:

• In a pot of very salty water, set pasta to boil.
• Toast almonds in a low oven (about 200F), and keep a close eye on them.
• Heat olive oil to shimmering, then add scallions and garlic; cook until translucent.
• Reduce heat and add lettuce, cooking until beginning to wilt.
• Add pasta and a spoonful or two of the salty water, along with red pepper sauce.
• Add parmesean cheese, and stir. Liquids should begin to form a thin sauce.
• Reduce until lettuce is thoroughly wilted and sauce has thickened up. Add a little hot pasta water if it's too thick.
• Sprinkle with toasted almonds and freshly ground black pepper and enjoy with a slice of thick, crusty bread.
