"This recipe adds a Southern style twist to a traditional Sicilian dish that combines pasta with collard greens, raisins and pine nuts. For our recipe, we added bacon and red onions and replaced the raisins with dried apples, the pine nuts with pecans and finished the dish with a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper...."
