Deb–
First, thanks for the fantastic website! I feel a special connection to you as I too cook from a tiny NYC kitchen; I refer to it as the “kitchen nook” and I refuse to let it limit my cooking. Well, except fresh pasta making– a pasta maker might just be what topples our House of Jenga. I made this last night and my husband and I adored it (and he’s usually more of a Swiss Miss, Swiss Steak kinda guy). I used all ingredients listed in the recipe (didn’t measure anything, just all to taste) and I say add the currants!Their sweetness tempered through the cooking process and they were tasty and subtle. I added hot pepper flakes and used whole wheat spaghetti (finally found a brand that doesn’t taste like, ahem, whole wheat). Oh, and my food fear? Olives as ingredients. Love them outta the jar, by the handful, in martinis, but oddly; everything else terrified me. Until this dish.

Love this! I added some balsamic vinegar for extra flavor and it was delicious.

Delish! I made this tonight and subbed spinach for the chard (because I bought too much forgetting I’m about to go out of town). I was afraid that it would be really oily before I put in the spaghetti but it wound up being absolutely delicious. I even added a bit of red pepper flake to spice it up. I have loved every recipe of yours that I’ve tried.

Absolutely fabulous. I am with you, Deb, in the love of swiss chard. Yellow, red, rainbow, I love it all. I put off eating it for such a long time because I was afraid it would be too bitter, like so many other greens. And now, I long for chard season and get it absolutely every chance I get. Thank you for having such a great selection of ways to enjoy it!

This is my new favorite lunch! I love greens, but was getting kinda bored with how I usually prepare them. This recipe is easy, fast and so delicious. I’ve been making it 3 times a week!

This was delicious! We used craisins. Dont skip the garlic chips… they’re great! But we did skip the cheese.
