    Outstanding. Thanks Giada! The dish tastes clean and I like the sizable amount of greens. Kept the tomato seeds in the pasta and it provided a little moisture.

    Delicioso! I substituted the ricotta salata for feta and did not need to add any salt or pepper to the dish. Absolutely flavorful, but I used less pasta to keep from over drying. I will definitely make this dish again!

    The recipe was a good starting off point but after reading some of the other reviews, I decided I needed to add more flavor. I sauted the garlic with hot red pepper flakes and 2 anchovy filets. Also used 3 Tbs of chopped sun dried tomatoes in addition to the fresh tomatoes. Finished the dish with 2 tbs of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of pasta liquid and 1/2 chopped fresh parsley and served with crumbled goat cheese. It was WONDERFUL and will definitely make it again.

    Followed the recipe. Too dry, and not enough seasoning. Just needed more of something.

    We liked this. It was a great use of the chard in our garden. Based on other people complaining about a lack of flavor, I saved the garlic, chopped it, and added with the beans and tomatoes. I also added the juice of one lemon. Frankly, I'm not sure that it needed those extras; I think it would have had enough flavor as written.

    Do not make this! I repeat don't do it. Usually my boyfriend and I love the food network recipes but this one was way off base. There was no flavor and we could hardly choke it down. I followed the recipe except I used more garlic and there was still no flavor. The bitterness of the greens totally overpowered the rest of the dish. Total miss.

    Easy recipe that tasted really healthy and fresh! My husband who is a tough Sicilian to cook for loved it! He couldn't stop talking about it. Loved the healthy ingredients and we both loved the taste. Added red pepper flakes to serve. Will be making again!

    This was the first recipe of Giada's that I didn't like. I can't really pinpoint what the problem was, but I served it to visiting in-laws and nobody liked it. Usually every pasta recipe of hers is perfect, but this one was just off somehow.
