    Delicious but needs adjustment

    I feel like the ratio of pasta to chard is off by a lot! I halved the pasta and kept the rest or the ingredients the same and it still seemed like too much pasta. Additions: chopped anchovies, and chopped tomato.

    Good even with substitutions

    We really enjoyed this recipe. Modified it - did not use the cooking water (b/c I forgot to save it) but I thought that was fine - that it might be soupy with the water. I used one bunch rainbow chard & one almost full bag spinach. Did not have pine nuts, so used toasted pumpkin seeds instead. Used more cheese. Thought feta cheese would be good substitute. Hubby ate leftovers for lunch for two following days, and still really liked it, a good sign!
