INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • ⅓ pound whole wheat spaghetti

  • Oil and Seasoning

    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon capers
    • 🍋 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste

  • Vegetables

    • 1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped

  • Cheese

    • 🧀 ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

STEPS

1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in spaghetti and return to a boil. Cook spaghetti uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic; cook until softened, around 1 minute. Add Swiss chard; cook and stir until chard stems are tender. Use some of the pasta water to help steam the chard by covering the pan.

3

Mix hot spaghetti and capers into the chard mixture. Season with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
