How to Make Creamy Swiss Chard And Pasta

  1. Wash and roughly chop 1 bunch (about 10 ounces) of Swiss chard (or substitute with spinach or beet greens).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped greens and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender.
  3. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. While the greens cook, cook 1 pound of pasta (your choice of shape) according to package directions.
  5. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Add the cooked pasta to the saucepan with the greens.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh herbs (optional). Serves 4.
