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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta dish turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This pasta dish was delicious! The Swiss chard was cooked perfectly and the flavors of the sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts really complemented each other. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think it would have been better if I had used less olive oil.

I love this pasta dish! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. The Swiss chard adds a nice bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the sun-dried tomatoes. I also love the addition of the pine nuts, which add a nice crunch. O

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some additional vegetables.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen Swiss chard and it worked just fine. I also added some chopped mushrooms and zucchini to the mix, which made it even more flavorful. Definitely a keeper!
