I love this pasta dish! I did cook the chard a little longer than called for and the tomatoes too. All the flavors tasted great and it looked so pretty! I added just a little more sour cream too. Thanks for a dish I will definately make again!!!

My daughter "hates" Swiss chard, but I have a lot in the garden. This made it quite tolerable for her! and the rest of us enjoyed it a lot! I used canned tomatoes (none in the garden yet...) and no milk. Used vegan sour cream as I had that on hand. Didn't measure too closely. Oh, and I kept the stems of the chard (chopped finely) - sauteed them with the onion for a little before adding anything else. I think the burner should be turned off before adding the sour cream...

Wonderful! I had some left over cooked bacon that I cut up and added toward the end of cooking. Used greek yogurt in place of sour cream and fresh tomatoes. Will make again for sure!
