Meanwhile, wash greens and remove any tough stem ends. If cooking on LOW, change setting to HIGH. Add greens to slow cooker and continue to cook, covered until greens wilt, about 5 minutes. To serve, spoon vegetables and broth into individual wide, shallow soup bowls. Top each serving with shavings of Parmesan and sprinkle with basil. OR - Serve these slow-cooked veggies on top of linguine tossed with olive oil and topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
