Dinner 30 Mins.

Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 12 ounces gemelli pasta
  • 1 large bunch Swiss chard
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 0.5 medium onion, halved and sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add gemelli and boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • While the gemelli is cooking, remove and slice Swiss chard stems. Cut leaves in half lengthwise, then thinly slice.
  • Cook bacon in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add chard stems and cook for 1 minute, then add leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
  • Add warm gemelli and olive oil to the chard mixture. Stir to combine and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
