Method

Place a small amount of oil in a deep skillet with garlic and onion over medium heat. When the onion begins to sizzle, add a generous pinch chili flakes and sea salt. Cook, stirring until onion is translucent. Stir in cherry tomatoes and beans and simmer until beans are hot. Stir in greens and cook, stirring until just wilted. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately (or stir into cooked pasta)
