I ate this warm because I couldn't wait and it was delicious. I added pepper flakes and lemon juice like some others suggested. I think this dish has it all. Protein, dairy, grains, veggies. Salty, bitter, and garlicky! I'll be making this dish all summer.

This was fantastic, I used broccoli and spinich with the garbanzo beans. I also used feta as I had it on hand, and it was wonderful! Everyone in the family loved it!

Loved this recipe but made some changes to it. Instead of diffusing the oil with the garlic I actually chopped the garlic with a little salt and olive oil to make a paste and then added the greens and on top of the greens I added some red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Then after adding the rest of the ingredients I added a little lemon juice on top of the lemon zest and put feta on top instead. Turned out SO DELICIOUS a lot but delicious!

I just watched this episode. There were no cherry tomatoes in the TV salad. There was edamame in there, but not in this recipe. Would love to see the exact recipe Giada made on TV.

I added lots of red pepper flakes to the greens as they were cooking since we like a little spice. This was a great addition. Also, I didnt really like the ricotta salata so I used pecorino romano and it was delicious. Otherwise I followed it exactly (halved the recipe and even my picky friend liked it-not to mention it's really healthy.

I made this for dinner last night and absolutely loved it! The flavor of the greens and ricotta with the lemon is amazing. I used whole wheat pasta, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly as it's written. My only suggestion would be to lower the heat on the pan before you put the greens in. The oil was too hot and it splattered a bit. Once I lowered it everything went smoothly. I'll definitely be making this again...it's delicious!

My daughter, neice and I had a great time cooking this. We left the garlic in the oil when cooking the Swiss Chard (took a chance on it not going bitter on us. We also used an herb feta cheese. Had it warmed and it was soo good.

I'm normally a fan of Giada's recipes but this one I have to agree with the others. It completely lacked flavor and in general didn't really taste that good. I would have to put this as one of the worst pasta recipes I've had from food tv. Many others suggested modifications to the recipe to enhance the flavor and some of the ideas sounded good but as is I would not recommend this.

I absolutely loved this pasta dish. I wanted to make it a little bit healthier, so I used whole wheat pasta instead. I didn't understand some of the critiques about the lack of flavor - perhaps you're commenting more on the greens than the combination of flavors in this dish. I made it last week and am going out to buy ingredients to make it again tonight!
