Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster)
  • 4 ounces cremini mushrooms
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces whole wheat gemilli pasta (or similar shape)
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard (removed from stems and torn)
  • 3 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mixed mushrooms and cremini mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  • Add the Pasta and Stock: Add the pasta and vegetable or chicken stock. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  • Cook the Pasta: Cover the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and most of the stock has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  • Add the Swiss Chard: Stir in the torn Swiss chard. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chard has wilted.

  • Finish the Dish: Remove from heat and stir in salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.

  • Serve: Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute the Swiss chard with spinach, kale, or arugula.
  • To make it richer, add a splash of heavy cream when mixing in the Parmesan.
  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes with the garlic.
