RIGATONI CHARD TOSS
I had to get my firefighter husband to eat more fruits and veggies to lower his cholesterol and triglycerides. Fresh chard and tomatoes add a lot of fiber and vitamins to our diets, but we love this recipe for the flavor. While he would never admit to eating "health food" around the firehouse, this dish is one of many that made his trips to the doctor much more pleasant! -Carolyn Kumpe, El Dorado, California

[email protected]I'm not usually a fan of chard, but this dish changed my mind. The bitterness of the chard was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the tomatoes and the saltiness of the cheese. Yum!
