Fall Pasta With Sauteed Chard Recipe - Good Food Life

Fall is officially here, well maybe not officially but close enough to feel the chill in the air. Time to power up on healthy ingredients to stave off seasonal illness and build up your immune system. Heavy greens, like chard, kale, mustard, beets and others are an essential ingredient to maintaining immune and digestive health. This light and flavorful pasta dish is both healthy and delicious. A simple sauce made from shallots, garlic, mushrooms, fresh herbs and white wine wilts the greens and creates a great topping for pasta, baked potatoes or just as a simple side dish. Don?t overcook the greens, leave them slightly chewy to retain their full nutritional value and keep your face happy!
