Pasta with Swiss Chard and Mushrooms

 

1 pound Swiss chard

1 cup chopped shallots or green onion

2 garlic cloves sliced

8 small mushrooms, sliced

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 pound dried pasta, shell or fettuccine

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

sliced black olives for garnish

 

Wash Swiss chard, remove stems and chop into 1 inch pieces. In a large skillet,

heat the olive oil and saute the shallots or green onions, garlic and mushrooms

for about 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard, reduce heat and cover the pan. Cook

for about 3 minutes. Turn chard over with tongs so that uncooked leaves are on

the bottom and wilted leaves are on top. Cover and cook until completely wilted.

Cook the pasta in a large pot until al dente. Drain well, return to the pot.

Pour the chard mixture over the pasta and toss. Divide onto warm plates. Top

each with , olives and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and fresh cracked pepper.

Serve immediately. Yields 4 servings.
