List of Ingredients
12 oz. rigatoni (about 5 cups)
2 T olive oil
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
8 cups coarsely chopped swiss chard leaves (about 8 oz.)
1 T butter
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt, to taste
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Description
Boil rigatoni.
While the rigatoni is cooking, heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat.
Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium; stir in the chicken broth, chard, butter, and pepper; cover and cook until the chard and the bell pepper are tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat; stir in the balsamic vinegar and salt.
When the rigatoni is done, drain well; return to the pot.
Add the chard mixture and toss; add the parmesan and toss again.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
