Directions

1. Start by placing 2 pots of water seasoned with salt onto boil.
2. In a large fry pan over medium heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil, the crushed garlic and chilli flakes. Cook this over medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding the diced Swiss chard whites and sautéing for 7-8 minutes over medium-low heat.
3. While the Swiss chard whites are cooking, place your pasta to cook in one of the pots of boiling water and in the second pot of boiling water, blanch the Swiss chard greens for 3 minutes.
4. After 3 minutes, drain the Swiss chard leaves and place into the blender with the parmesan, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and some of the liquid that you cooked the leaves in just to thin it out slightly.
5. Once blended, add that green sauce to the frypan with the Swiss chard whites and stir well.
6. Once your pasta is cooked, drain and then toss through the green sauce.
7. Enjoy as is or with some more parmesan if you wish.
