How To Make shiitake mushrooms and chard pasta

  • Step 1
    In a medium sized skillet, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add onion and cook at medium-low heat until translucent, about 5 or 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and increase heat slightly. Cook until the mushrooms have thrown off their moisture and started to brown.
  • Step 2
    Add tomatoes, chili flakes and oregano and cook until heated through. Add Swiss chard and cook until wilted, just a couple of minutes. Stir in gruyere cheese. Meanwhile, cook whatever pasta shape you desire, until al dente. Drain pasta and top with sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
