Ingredients Needed
-
⅓ pound whole wheat spaghetti
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped
-
1 teaspoon capers
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste (Optional)
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add Swiss chard and sauté until the stems soften. If necessary, add a splash of pasta water and cover to help steam the chard.

Add the drained spaghetti and capers to the skillet. Toss everything together and season with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Top with Parmesan cheese before serving.
