Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 small garlic clove
1 slice white sandwich bread, torn into large pieces
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons butter
12 ounces gemelli, fusilli, or other short twisted pasta
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 bunches green Swiss chard (about 1 1/2 pounds total), stalks cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces, leaves torn into 2-inch pieces (keep stalks and leaves separate)
1 to 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse garlic until finely chopped. Add bread and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add crumbs and cook, tossing, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer crumbs to a bowl, and set aside; wipe skillet clean.
  • Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserving 1 cup pasta water, drain pasta, and return to pot. Set aside.
  • While pasta is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add chard stalks and 1/2 cup pasta water; cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add leaves, and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes more. Stir in vinegar.
  • Add chard mixture and remaining tablespoon butter to pasta. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Thin with pasta water, if desired. Serve topped with breadcrumbs and additional Parmesan.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover after making a roasted chicken, and this is a great way to use it up.

I made this dish gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta. It was just as good as the regular version.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. It was still delicious!
