SWISS CHARD WITH GARLIC



Swiss Chard with Garlic image

This is a very simple recipe for Swiss chard. I like to use the whole vegetable but you need to saute the stems and the leaves separately as the stems take longer. This won't make a lot as the chard will wilt, so if you love chard, think about doubling the recipe.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Swiss chard: Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Prep the Swiss chard properly: Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Wash the leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Cook the Swiss chard until tender: Sauté the Swiss chard in olive oil until it wilts and becomes tender, about 5-7 minutes. You can also steam or boil the Swiss chard until tender.
  • Use a good quality pasta: Penne is a great choice for this dish, as it holds the sauce well. You can also use other short pasta shapes, such as rigatoni or fusilli.
  • Make the sauce creamy: The sauce for this dish is made with a combination of butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer the sauce until it is thickened and creamy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This penne with Swiss chard and garlic is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The Swiss chard adds a pop of color and nutrition to the dish, while the garlic and Parmesan cheese add flavor and richness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table!
