Had to use spinach instead of chard as the grocery store didn't carry it (boooo!) but found this an enjoyable after work meal. It was a bit bland so I added plenty of red pepper flakes and some frozen peas. Again, not outta this world but definitely enjoyable and did the trick. It does get 5 stars for its ease and quickness. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.

This is so good. Asiago cheese is one of my favorites so I couldn't resist this recipe. It's easy to put together. I didn't have penne, so I used shells. And spinach for the Swiss chard. I will use chard the next time I make this. I've never used chard before, now I have a great recipe to try some. Thanks Derf.

Delicious! I added some cubed chicken to make it a rounded out meal, and to keep from taking away from the dish. I used spiral pasta instead of the penne because it was what I had on hand, and this was delicious! What a great, easy recipe to enjoy swiss chard! Thanks for this recipe! My 2 year old LOVED it!

Very quick and easy, mild tasting but pleasing nonetheless. Instead of swiss chard I substituted 9 ounces fresh spinach and 1 15 1/2 ounce can pinto beans instead of white beans for half a recipe. I did add all the garlic and only 1 teaspoon oil. I liked the texture of this recipe too. Excellent results from few ingredients. Thanks!
