25 minute creamy swiss chard pasta

February 17, 2022

Jump to RecipePrint Recipe

It’s been ages and life hasn’t been the easiest since 2022 started but I kinda need to stop giving excuses and just step it up! So here I am, bringing back tofucado from the ashes and giving you one of my favorite recipes of the moment. I have been talking about this recipe for so long and it’s finally here! I think it was about time. I basically make this 25 minute creamy swiss chard pasta every week because 1) it’s super simple to make; 2) I love swiss chard and 3) it’s freaking delicious! So if you want to discover this recipe, keep reading!

Ingredients to make this creamy swiss chard pasta

So to make this you will need :

  • Swiss chard (it is, after all, the main ingredient of this recipe)
  • Mushrooms
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Spices & herbs: oregano, garlic powder, hot paprika, salt & pepper.
  • Some olive oil
  • Pasta of your choosing
  • Cream, to make things creamier.
  • Parmesan cheese because who can resist parmesan cheese.

Alternatives to this creamy swiss chard pasta

So this recipe is super good and I have made many variations of it. Obviously the main ingredient is swiss chard so it is always present. Some of the variations I made are:

  • Less color, more flavor: Same recipe as this one but instead of cherry tomatoes I add shallots.
  • More vegetables: Same recipe as this one but I also add spinach leaves.
  • More garlic: Drop all the veggies, and just add a generous amount of garlic (and obviously, drop the garlic powder).
  • More tomato: Add some tomato sauce to this recipe and it will be so much different!

As you can see, the possibilities are endless. Not only because swiss chard is so good, but also because pasta is super versatile so you can do a million different things with it.

My favorite tofucado pasta recipes

Obviously this one will be in the top now, but I have published my fair share of pasta recipes and my top 3 would be (without counting this one):

  • Kimchi mac & cheese (is this even a surprise?)
  • Pumpkin pasta (because when I made this I was so shocked that I had the same thing three times that week)
  • My go-to vegan lentil bolognese (I don’t go a month without making this! And it’s such a great meal prep recipe).

I am so excited to read these books but except the "for the throne" book, I don't really know what they are about. 

💬 Do you usually buy books just because of the cover?
📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemsch 📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemschulz and @xtineschiefer (podcast @atwwdpodcast) 

I gotta say I was way too excited about this book because it is the first time I can actually buy something from my favourite podcasters without having to pay +50€ of shipping. But that's just a side note. 

🌍What is this book about? As the title says, it's a guide of haunted places in the US :  a mix of paranormal and true crime stories told by Em and Christine and other cool / haunted places to visit in each city/state. 

👻The stories, while obviously dark, are told in a funny way and it goes by like a breeze. I read it like a normal book, but you can totally read it one state at a time and it'd be even greater.

The book is quite original because well, there is a million road trip guides out there but few like this one! 

🔥I'm a huge fan of ATWWD so i may be a bit biased, but nonetheless this was great and entertaining and I really want to do a freaking road trip now!

✨ January wrap up ✨ Some very good books but s ✨ January wrap up ✨
Some very good books but some very bad ones too in January. My fave read was "Le refuges" by Jérôme Loubry, such a Great thriller. 
The worst was house of accidents, it could have been SO GOOD, yet it was...so bad.

How many did you read this month? And which one was your favourite?

✨Meat & veggie broth✨ Quick recipe with the In ✨Meat & veggie broth✨
Quick recipe with the Instant pot today : this is one of my favourite things to make because you get : awesome broth, awesome meat and veggies, and tons of possible meals out of it. 

To make this easy broth you will need : 
- 2 to 3 different types of meat : I usually get jamón (but in France it's very costly to find good one), chicken legs, beef ribs or beef meatballs). For this one I used the chicken legs, beef ribs and pork belly. 
- veggies: all you want, everyone is welcomed !! I mainly use cabbage, carrots, leek, celery, potatoes. Sometimes I put garlic in there. 
- chickpeas 
- salt and pepperrrrr
- i use a bit of soy sauce to give an extra quick as well. 

Now, put everything in the instant pot, put water till almost the max limit and close the lid. If you making it with meat, go 1h + natural release (up to two hours).
