Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz of cooked whole wheat pasta we used bionaturae Organic Whole Wheat Chiocciole
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil 10g
  • 1 small sweet onion chopped
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic minced
  • ½ lb Rainbow Swiss Chard washed
  • 15 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 1-2 pinches of salt
  • ½ teaspoon drid basil plus more to taste and/or fresh basil leaves
  • 1 15 oz can of great northern beans drained and rinsed
  • Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions
 

  • Put on a pot of boiling water and cook the pasta according to the package.
    6 oz of cooked whole wheat pasta
  • Wash the chard. It's so pretty, isn't it?
  • Chop it up a bit and seperate the steps from the leaves. We are going to cook them at different times since the stalks will take longer.
  • Heat the 2 teaspoon of oil in the pan over medium high heat. And yes that is 2 tsp, can you see it? Coats the pan nicely without drowning everything in oil.
    2 teaspoon olive oil
  • Add the onion and the garlic. I love having a helper! Add the chard stalks.
    1 small sweet onion chopped, 3-4 cloves of garlic minced, ½ lb Rainbow Swiss Chard washed
  • The pan may start to get dry as the onion and garlic cook. That's ok. Add the can of diced tomaotes.
    15 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • Add a pinch of salt, the leaves of the chard and stir until they start to wilt.
    1-2 pinches of salt, ½ teaspoon drid basil
  • Add the beans. ...stir until they start to wilt. (I had SUCH a great helper!)
    1 15 oz can of great northern beans drained and rinsed
  • Add the cooked and drained pasta and... again stir to coat.
    6 oz of cooked whole wheat pasta, Parmesan cheese
  • As soon as all ingredients are well mixed, serve!
