Spaghetti and Swiss Chard With Garlic Chips

This spaghetti with Swiss chard and garlic crisps is a vibrant, high-protein vegetarian dish that balances savoury, salty, and sweet notes perfectly. The earthy flavour of the chard is lifted by the bite of Kalamata olives and the subtle sweetness of plumped currants. By using the entire chard leaf and stem, you create a rustic, textured sauce that coats the pasta beautifully, ensuring every forkful is packed with nutrients.

Ideal for a satisfying weeknight dinner, this recipe is a brilliant way to incorporate more leafy greens into your diet. The finishing touch of crumbled feta adds a creamy richness, while the homemade garlic crisps provide a professional-style crunch. Serve it immediately while the garlic is at its crispest for a comforting yet sophisticated meal that feels much more indulgent than its healthy ingredients suggest.

Ingredients for Spaghetti and Swiss Chard With Garlic Chips

  • 80ml de aceite de oliva virgen extra

  • 1 head garlic, cloves peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise

  • 1 cebolla mediana, finamente picada

  • 70g dried currants

  • 900g green Swiss chard, stems and centre ribs finely chopped and leaves coarsely chopped separately

  • 120ml de agua

  • 450 g de espaguetis

  • 120ml Kalamata olives, cut into slivers

  • 170g feta, crumbled (350ml )

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook garlic, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer garlic with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.

Cook onion in oil remaining in skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add currants and cook, stirring, until plumped, about 1 minute.

Stir chard stems into onion mixture with water and 3/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper. Cook, covered, over medium-high heat until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in chard leaves and cook, covered, until stems and leaves are tender, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 4.7L water) until al dente. Reserve 240ml pasta-cooking water and drain spaghetti.

Toss spaghetti with chard, olives, and 120ml cooking water, adding more cooking water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with feta and garlic chips.
