Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 batches basic pasta
  • 4-5 Tbs olive oil divided
  • 1/4 cup onion diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 2 bunches Swiss Chard about a pound, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 28 ounce can San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 Tbs dried basil
  • 16 ounces mozzarella cheese grated
  • 4 ounces Parmesan cheese grated
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, heat an additional tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add greens and cook until wilted and tender. Transfer to bowl with mushrooms and set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, heat an additional tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, reduce heat, and simmer 10-15 minutes.
  • Break apart tomatoes, add basil, taste and add salt and black pepper, if needed. Remove from heat.
  • Spread a bit of sauce on the bottom of the pan. Roll out pasta as thin as possible and place a layer of pasta on the sauce. Add about 1/3 of the Swiss Chard and mushrooms, 1/4 of the cheese, and about 1/4 of the sauce.
  • Continue layering Swiss Chard, mushrooms, sauce, and cheese until you have three layers. Top with a layer of sauce and pasta, then cover with cheese.
  • Cover with baking parchment, and bake for 45 minutes. Remove parchment and bake another 15 minutes or until bubbly and browned.
  • Remove from the oven and let settle for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve.
