Simple Light Swiss Chard And Spaghetti


I've been growing swiss chard lately, and it is abundant. i've been going through a bunch of recipes with it, and just love the stuff. this is a modification of my other swiss chard and salmon recipe, using canned salmon. if you're a vegetarian, by all means omit the salmon. it is still delicious. if you are a vegetarian this is a pretty cheap meal. it can of course be dressed up with fresh salmon for guests too.

Steps


Bring a large pot of water to boil.
While chopping vegetables and opening cans.
Saute garlic and oregano in oil over medium heat for about 1 minute until garlic is slightly cooked , then add swiss chard and cook until wilted.
When water comes to a boil , add salt and sprig from oregano along with the pasta and cook 2 minutes less than the package directions indicate for the pasta cooking time.
Add the white wine to the swiss chard pan to deglaze it , scraping the bits in the bottom of the pan.
Let the alcohol cook off for a few minutes then add tomatoes and salmon.
Break up the salmon a bit in the sauce.
When the pasta is 2 minutes from finished , remove the pasta from the water and finish cooking in the sauce.
Serve immediately.
