Ingredients
-
12 ounces gemelli pasta
-
1 large bunch Swiss chard
-
6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
-
½ medium onion, halved and sliced
-
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Directions
-
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.
Cook's Note:
Substitute rotini for gemelli pasta if preferred.
