Swiss Chard With Creamy Pasta
By: Gigi Howe
If you are a fan of Swiss chard, like I am, here’s a recipe for you to try. You really could substitute another leafy green vegetable, such as kale, escarole or spinach or even do a combination of different greens. This recipe is easy to prepare and what doesn’t taste good with pasta and Parmesan cheese?! 😉 If you’d like, you can also add a can of cannellini beans to the mix.
