Chard & Bacon Linguine
I use Swiss chard every way I can, and that includes stirring it into this breezy linguine. When you’re short on time, this dish keeps life simple. —Diane Nemitz, Ludington, Michigan

Reviews
Very flavourful dish. I followed the recipe without changing anything, and it is delicious!
Other than adding a bit of red pepper flakes in step 2 and stirring in some spinach at the end because I had some in the fridge (more greens never hurts), I followed recipe exactly as written. I added the swiss chard stems first and simmered for 3 mins and then leaves for 2 more mins and it was perfect. This has good flavor and I will make it again.
I did not have any white wine on hand so doubled the chicken stock. I was expecting this to be rather bland but it was very flavourful. Will be making again as I have an abundance of fresh swiss chard in my garden.
