PREP INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine pasta, water and milk in a large, deep skillet with a tight fitting lid; set over high heat. Bring to a boil; boil for 3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the condensed soup, tuna, onion, pesto and garlic; mix in well. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent pasta from sticking to the pan, for 5 minutes. Stir in Swiss chard and tomato. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve with Parmesan cheese (if using) . Makes 4 serving.
- Tips:
- Swiss chard can be replaced with other leafy greens such as chopped spinach or arugula.
- Although this recipe calls for Swiss chard leaves only, don’t waste the stems. Chopped leftover stems can be added to soups, stews, stir-fries or sauces.
