    I struggle to find anything to do with greens. This made them very tasty! Loved it.

    This dish surprised me with just how delicious it is! If you struggle with cooked leafy greens, this is a great way to prepare them. I only had one bunch of chard, fire-roasted tomatoes and parmigano reggiano cheese but otherwise I followed the recipe. All of the different textures made this dish interesting and satisfying. I cooked some chicken cutlets to eat with it because my husband prefers meat with dinner but the spaghetti is great all on its own.

    My husband doesn't remember too many meals I make, but this one he asks for all the time. The best part is that I have almost all of these ingredients on hand. I just need to buy the swiss chard and sometimes the cheese, but otherwise I have everything. I also add chicken since we rarely eat any meal without meat. Great recipe!

    Tangy and delicious. My first time to try Swiss chard - love it! I substituted olives for capers, chopped walnuts for pine nuts, and parmesan for pecorino (because those were what I had in the pantry. I will definitely make this again... the pecorino will make it even better.

    Just made this recipe and though I had to modify a little- didn't have kalamata olives and used capers instead- it was yummy! I also added more red pepper flakes to add more heat. My husband enjoyed it very much. This is a great healthy meal that I will definately make again!

    I had to modify this recipe's ingredients for what I had available. My grocer only had one bunch of chard and it was red. Also, I doubled the tomatoes. Everything else was available and it turned out awesome. Even my 2-year-old gobbled it up. He LOVED the pine nuts! It's a keeper!

    I thought the recipe was great....but you have to get beyond thinking that all pasta has to have a rich, tick, creamy sauce. This was very flavorful. It was my first tie cooking with chard and used a combination of both white and red...the red did give it more color. I thought it stood up better in the dish than spinach would. I believe that next time I would add a little more red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit more, or to make it less vegatarian, I would add a little spicy italian sausage. The pecorino was very good as well, we grated it on top but I think I would shave some pecorino curls so you could "taste" the bite of the cheese. I would make this again .....and for company too.

    I really enjoyed this recipe. It was something different. I used kale instead of the swiss chard...I should have let it simmer a bit longer to soften the kale. I made sure to salt/pepper every step to make sure it stayed flavorful. I think next time I may skip the olives. Loved the added crunch from the pine nuts. I served with baked chicken to round out the meal. Will keep this in the rotation.
