This recipe was good! One weird thing: 2 cups of pasta seems unrealistic for four servings. Use 3.5 at least. Obviously increase cheese/chard to compensate. I also used butter instead of oil, which ended up being good! -
I made this last night and it was very tasty. I did not drain the beans to make it a bit more saucy and then added a can of diced tomatoes. My mixture looked a lot more green than in the picture though I though I was actually a little short on the amount of chard. I'm not rating it since I didn't make it exactly as stated, but all the adults liked it a lot. -
Had to use spinach instead of chard as the grocery store didn't carry it (boooo!) but found this an enjoyable after work meal. It was a bit bland so I added plenty of red pepper flakes and some frozen peas. Again, not outta this world but definitely enjoyable and did the trick. It does get 5 stars for its ease and quickness. Perfect for a weeknight dinner. -
This is so good. Asiago cheese is one of my favorites so I couldn't resist this recipe. It's easy to put together. I didn't have penne, so I used shells. And spinach for the Swiss chard. I will use chard the next time I make this. I've never used chard before, now I have a great recipe to try some. Thanks Derf. -
Very quick and easy, mild tasting but pleasing nonetheless. Instead of swiss chard I substituted 9 ounces fresh spinach and 1 15 1/2 ounce can pinto beans instead of white beans for half a recipe. I did add all the garlic and only 1 teaspoon oil. I liked the texture of this recipe too. Excellent results from few ingredients. Thanks!
