ingredients
1 pound Swiss chard
8 ounces uncooked penne pasta (tubular-shaped pasta)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Remove stems and center ribs from Swiss chard. Coarsely chop; set aside.
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta in a colander over a bowl, reserving 3/4 cup cooking liquid. Set aside; keep warm.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and saute 30 seconds. Add Swiss chard; saute 3 minutes or until wilted.
Combine the reserved 3/4 cup cooking liquid, ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; stir well.
Combine the pasta, Swiss chard mixture, and ricotta cheese mixture, and toss well. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I needed a recipe for the swiss chard. (I grew it and wanted to use this "super food.") This was perfect. It's a fast easy recipe - the only kind I make - I didn't have ricotta cheese so used cream cheese instead. Will definitely make this again.
