I was inspired to make this recipe based on a piquant pasta recipe from my New Zealand Vegetarian Adventures cookbook. The tomatoes were brought home from our LPO work share- unfortunately they had been split on the top so couldn't be sold. Lucky for us!
1 lb pasta, cooked
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tomatoes, cubed
2 bundles Swiss chard, stemmed and cut into small pieces
1/4 C fresh basil, cut into pieces
1/4-1/2 C freshly shredded parmesan
Grilled chicken
Cook the pasta in a separate pot. Drain when finished.
Warm olive oil in a separate skillet, add garlic and begin to saute. When just fragrant, add the tomatoes. Simmer for a bit and then add the chard. Mix the chard into the tomato garlic mixture well and let simmer for a few minutes. Add the basil on top and take off the heat. Let the basil wilt a bit and then add the drained pasta.
Slice the grilled chicken.
**Delicious! It was especially flavored because I used the olive oil from my marinated sun dried tomatoes which was infused with garlic, salt, and thyme. A great way to use your greens.
This blog is designed to help you use the produce from your CSA harvest box. I design the meals based on the goodies from the Los Poblanos Organics CSA in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Lots of recipes to choose from, photos from my plate, and comments on each. The weekly plan including the harvest box contents can be found in the left-most tab named This Week's Menu. Enjoy!
