-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion -- finely chopped
2 pound butternut squash -- (1 squash) neck only, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 1/2 cups)
2 garlic cloves -- minced

1.In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the onion, cover and

tender, 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and rosemary and cook until
fragrant, 1 minute. Add the kale and cook, stirring, until wilted, 5
minutes. Add the stock, cover and simmer until the kale and squash are
just tender, 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
2.Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the
pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta.
3.Add the pasta and navy beans to the soup and simmer until the soup is
slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons
of olive oil. Ladle the soup into deep bowls and garnish with shaved
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Serve with garlic toasts.
Make Ahead: The kale-squash soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
