Cooking all the ingredients, even the pasta, in one pot certainly streamlines prep, cook, and cleanup times—this recipes comes together in about 30 minutes, giving plenty of time for the grape tomatoes and red onion to cook down. It also allows the starch from the pasta water to create a lovely, creamy sauce, thanks to the addition of both goat cheese and Pecorino cheese. You can also use whatever hearty green you like, from mustard greens to Swiss chard and turnip greens. This warming, comforting dinner is ideal to put together for any chilly weeknight.
