Short Busiate with Sicilian Summer Greens

A Sicilian dish that celebrates the fleeting season of these Sicilian greens, for a taste of late summer comfort. The end of summer in Sicily carries a special magic. The air cools just enough to bring you back into the kitchen, and for a fleeting moment, tenerumi (the tender leaves of the long squash plant) appear at the market. My parents would sit at the kitchen table, patiently sorting the tangled leaves from the shoots, knowing their season never lasted long.
