Cooking Notes

Use ravioli from a box or bag from the pasta aisle rather than frozen or refrigerated.

If you don’t have a garlic press, finely mince the garlic.

Reduced-fat or full-fat yogurt or sour cream also can be used.

Creamy Swiss Chard with Cheese Ravioli

1 cup dry mini cheese ravioli*
8 ounces Swiss chard
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 pressed garlic clove*
1/2 cup sliced cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt or sour cream*
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons whole milk, optional
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook the pasta according to the package directions.

Meanwhile, wash and spin dry Swiss chard. Cut into bite-size pieces and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add onion and chard, and stir and cook until chard is tender and wilted, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes, lemon juice, salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well, and remove from heat.

When pasta is done, drain well and run under cool water to bring quickly to slightly warmer than room temperature. Add pasta to skillet with vegetables. Dollop yogurt over pasta/vegetable combination, and toss to coat well. If veggies clump together, add up to 2 tablespoons of whole milk until sauce coats pasta. Serve immediately.
