    Ingredients

    • 10 to 12 ounce bunch chard any variety (Swiss, green, rainbow, ruby, etc.)
    • 10 to 12 ounces ribbon noodles pappardelle, or other short flat shape
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 large onion quartered and thinly sliced
    • 3 to 4 cloves garlic minced
    • ¼ cup dry white wine
    • 1 1/ 2 to 2 pounds diced ripe tomatoes or one 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
    • 15- to 16- ounce can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
    • ¼ cup dark raisins or currants
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    • Vegan Parmesan Cheez optional
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Remove and discard the stems and coarse mid-ribs from chard leaves. Rinse the leaves and remaining stems well, then drain and coarsely chop them.
    • Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
    • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet or steep-sided stir-fry pan. Add the onions and garlic and sauté over medium-low heat until the onion is golden.
    • Add the wine and chard. Cover and cook just until the chard wilts down, stirring once or twice, about 3 minutes.
    • Stir in the tomatoes, beans, and raisins. Cook just until everything is well heated through, about 4 to 5 minutes longer.
    • Combine the pasta with the chard mixture in a large serving bowl. Toss well, then season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again. Serve, passing around vegan Parmesan for topping, if desired.
