Chard, Onions, Pasta And An Egg
- 3 ounces long whole wheat pasta - linguini or fettucini, I use Italian Herb or the Tomato Basil or - well, they are all amazing. Use you fave whole wheat if you don't feel like ordering my stuff - but I am telling you it is the Bees Knees
- 4 swiss chard leaves
- 1/2 red onion - quartered and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped tomato - I often used halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 egg
- shredded parmesan
- drizzled butternut squash oil
- salt and pepper
- Wash and chop the chard. Separate the stems and leaves as you will add them at different times. The stems should be sliced into about 1/2" pieces.
- Get salted pasta water boiling and salted egg poaching water boiling. Heat the oil to medium in a large skillet - everything is going in there eventually so I mean it when I say large! Yeah, I know, 3 pans, one dinner - it is totally worth it!!! Also crack the egg into some sort of small dish.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and season them with a pinch of salt. Saute them until they start to sweat. Add the tomatoes and also start boiling your pasta which will most likely take 7-8 minutes. Add the chard leaves to the skillet and saute everything together until the leaves are cooked and everyone is tender. You probably have about 3 minutes left on the pasta timer right? Put the egg in the poaching water and add the chard stems to the skillet, season with a bit more salt and also some pepper - you want them to retain some crunch so go easy on the heat.
- Your pasta timer just beeped - drain it and immediately dump it into the skillet, toss everything together, then move it to whatever dish you are eating out of (I use a shallow bowl). Go get the egg, use a slotted spoon or scoop thing to drain the excess water, and place it reverently on top - we love the poached egg!! Now grate or sprinkle parmesan on top and finally give a good drizzle that butternut oil over the whole thing.
- Seriously ... enjoy.
