Pasta With Swiss Chard and Bacon Recipe

How to make it

---

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil add salt to boiling water.
• Add pasta and cook till al dente according to package directions.
• Mean while for the Swiss chard, remove and slice the stems.
• Cut the leaves in half lengthwise and thinly slice, set aside
• In a large skillet cook bacon over medium high heat 4-5 minutes
• or until lightly browned.
• Add onion, cook and stir 2 min.
• Add garlic, cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Add chard stems, cook 1 min.
• Add chard leaves, cook and stir 2 min.or until wilted.
• Add cooked pasta and oil , cook and stir until heated through.
• Top with lactose free Parmesan and serve.
• If you can't find lactose free cheese, leave it out, and add reg. parm. at the table for those that can have it. If you find it too dry add a bit more oil.
• I do not add salt and pepper to this as the bacon for me is salty enough.
• Beet greens would work well with this dish also.
• If the chard is old do not use the stems as they will be tough.
• I put 3-4 servings, but hubby and i can eat all:)))
