Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sliced garlic (from 3 to 4 cloves)
12 ounces Swiss chard, stems sliced, leaves torn into 2-inch pieces
1 pound cauliflower, cut into small florets (4 cups)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound campanelle
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
8 ounces Gruyere, grated (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large, straight-sided skillet, melt half of butter over medium-high. Add garlic, chard stems, cauliflower, and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until garlic is golden, 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water; cover. Cook until cauliflower is just tender, 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; stir in chard leaves.
  • Cook pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups water. Add remaining butter and flour to skillet; cook over medium-high, whisking, until toasted, 1 minute. Slowly whisk in pasta water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook, whisking, until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; whisk in sour cream and 1 1/2 cups cheese. Stir in pasta and chard mixture; top with remaining cheese. Transfer to oven; bake until cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Serve.

The Swiss chard added a nice pop of color to the dish. It also had a slightly bitter flavor that balanced out the richness of the cheese sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but I really enjoyed it in this dish. It was roasted to perfection and had a slightly caramelized flavor.
