Lemon Garlic Pasta W/ Swiss Chard

• 4 ounces whole wheat, thin spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• zest of half a lemon (wash and dry before zesting)
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pinch each of sea salt and black pepper
• 3/4 cup sweet grape tomatoes, cut into quarters
• 3 large leaves of organic red swiss chard, washed, destemmed and cut into thin strips

1. In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. I like my pasta al dente, so I cooked it for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
2. Combine olive oil, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
3. In a medium saute pan, heat 1 spoonful of the olive mixture for 1 minute. Next add the tomatoes and let cook for about 3 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to break down. Add the remaining olive mixture and swiss chard, cook for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Add the pasta to the sauce, mix well and heat for an additional minute, then serve.
