Orecchiette with turnip greens

Wash the vegetables under cold running water, roughly chop, and boil in salted water for 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and squeeze dry liquid. Cook the pasta in the cooking water until al dente. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the anchovies and dissolve. Finely dice the garlic and chili, add, and fry lightly. Be careful, the garlic burns easily. Now add the vegetables and fry briefly. Add a little pasta water. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and mix everything together.
