One Pan Spaghetti With Chard
Stirring the spaghetti well is key to keep it from sticking. Adjust cooking time if you use a different pasta. If the final dish seems too dry just stir in more olive oil… and pass the Parmesan for serving. - Jenny Jones

Instructions:

I am now making this fabulous dish all in one pan. I salute the garlic and chard together for 1 minute, use thin spaghetti and 1 cup of water, cover and cook with occasional stirring for 9-10 minutes. It takes a couple of minutes longer but is less work and cleanup. I will update the recipe soon.
The pasta dish looks very good will definitely try this im so happy i stumbled across your cooking page
I made this with spinach – loved it – thanks.
