Guest guest Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Chard-Tomato Peasant Pasta 1 bunch chard, cleaned, stems removed, and very roughly chopped, can be in fairly large pieces olive oil 3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 4 to 5 medium sized ripe tomatoes, chopped fresh pasta, fresh spaghetti or dried spaghetti splash of white wine or squeeze of lemon salt and pepper Bring one large pot of water to boil, then add a couple of teaspoons of salt. Add chard pieces to the water and cook until blanched, 2 minutes or so. Fish out the chard with tongs or strainer. Add pasta to water to cook if using dried pasta... Meantime, cook the garlic in the oil in a large saute pan for 1 minute over medium or medium high heat until softening a little, make sure it doesn't burn. Add blanched chard & chopped tomatoes. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Cook up the pasta now if you're using fresh pasta. Now the fun part: toss everything together, with a splash of white wine or lemon juice, and add a little of the pasta water to make everything a tad soupy. Adjust seasoning. ______________________________\ ____ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
