So I made this for dinner today. I had to make a few substitutes just for what we had on-hand.

I used fettuccine pasta, red onion, cranberries, sunflower seeds, parmesan cheese, added a can of flaked tuna, and upped the amounts of swiss chard, oil & lemon juice.

I fried the red onion with thd oil, salt & pepper until soft, mixed in the cranberries and turned off the heat as I chopped the swiss chard. Then I stirred it in, along with the lemon juice. After 3-4 minutes, I transferred it into a bowl and cooked the pasta. I added the pasta and stirred in the parmesan cheese, sunflower seeds and tuna. It turned out fantastic!

Fantastic! I was scared of the raisins and I only had dried cranberries but I used them and toasted walnuts but it is incredible! I’m a big fan of Swiss chard now! Love the recipe and love your name cuz we love lemons!!! The sliced garlic!!!

This is SO flavorful – a great one to use up the abundance of rainbow chard in my late fall garden. I subbed in chickpea pasta and Manchego cheese (what I had on hand) and it was perfect. The entire family liked it.

Mmmmm, yum! I had a bunch of Swiss chard and searched for recipes on your site. I decided to make this one and I’m glad I did. It was delicious. It was a bit off the beaten path of other pasta dishes I make, so that was a nice change of pace. I found it easy to substitute a couple of ingredients for things I had on hand. I also added a little cooked meat I had and that blended in easily. Thanks for posting!

In reply to jennifer folsom. I did something very similar! I had hazelnuts but I used dates instead of raisins. Had just used my last onion, so I used green onion instead. Added vegan feta and lemon zest at the end! Soooo good.
