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.

WHOLE-WHEAT PENNE WITH SAUSAGE, CHARD, AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS



Whole-Wheat Penne With Sausage, Chard, and Artichoke Hearts image

From Martha Stewarts Body+Soul magazine. "Choose Italian-style chicken sausage, either sweet or hot, for this recipe. If the sausage is pre-cooked, chop it into bit sized bits and saute to brown it." I plan to skip the oil and probably use canned artichoke hearts.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

coarse salt and black pepper
12 ounces whole wheat penne
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 lb chicken sausage, removed from casing
1 (9 ounce) box frozen artichoke hearts, thawed

1/3 cup sun-dried tomato, sliced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving (about 2 ounces)
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaf
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of salted water to boil for pasta. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking sausage into pieces, until cooked through and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

  • Add some Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese adds a delicious nutty flavor to the dish. You can add it to the pasta at the end of cooking or sprinkle it on top before serving.
