Chard is not a WEED!

So all my fears have been put to rest tonight. Chard is not a weed, even though, if it was growing in my yard, chances are good I would have pulled it. But I am happy to report that it is pretty tastey, and yummy!!! So try this one out, lots of good flavors

Here is a healthy little ditty that I whipped up tonight:

1 Bunch of Chard
1 8 oz  mushrooms
1/2 onion
2 garlic cloves
1-2 T Butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (more if you like spice)
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup white wine (can be omitted and use chicken stock instead)
Penne Pasta
Parmesan Cheese

Wash and chopped the Chard. Chop and Dice the onions and mushrooms. Mince the garlic.

In a sauce pan, melt butter. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes, then add mushrooms and garlic. Once the mushrooms have soften, add the chard, chicken stock, wine, salt, pepper, and red pepper and cook on low for 10 minutes.

Cook pasta according to directions. Add 1/4 cup of pasta water to Veggie mix. Drain pasta and then add to Veggie sauce. Toss together, pour into a bowl and add parm cheese!

Best time of the day...... TIME TO EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
