One Pot Mushroom and Swiss Chard Pasta
Description
Beginning with browning butter until nutty bits form, which is then set aside, the recipe continues by sautéing mushrooms and minced garlic in remaining butter until softened. Gemelli pasta and torn Swiss chard are added along with vegetable stock, salt, and pepper. The mixture is simmered until the pasta is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
After cooking, the reserved brown butter is stirred back in along with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, lending a creamy, nutty richness that complements the earthiness of the mixed mushrooms and the slight bitterness of the Swiss chard. The dish's texture combines tender pasta with soft greens.
Served warm, this pasta offers a comforting meal that highlights simple ingredients and minimal cleanup due to the one-pot method. Additional Parmesan can be sprinkled on top to taste.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 8 ounces mushroom cremini, shiitake, oyster, mixed
- 4 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 8 ounces gemelli pasta or a similar shape, whole wheat
- 1 swiss chard removed from stems and torn, bunch
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable stock low-sodium, or chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of the butter. Whisk constantly until it begins to bubble and cook for about 5 minutes – just until brown bits appear on the bottom of the skillet. The minute the brown bits appear, turn off the heat and pour the brown butter into a bowl. Set it aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic, cooking until the mushrooms soften, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add in the pasta, swiss chard, stock, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and then cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring, so the pasta cooks. Once the noodles have absorbed all of the water, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the reserved brown butter. Stir in the parmesan cheese and serve, adding more on top if desired.
