Creamy Swiss Chard Pasta

swiss chard from csa box
all other items in fridge, believe it or not.

Verdict: ****1/2 (the 1 year old ate everything-with coaxing-except the pasta as she still has trouble with long noodles)

Comments: I made modifications to use up some of my ingredients in the fridge... the link below is to the original recipe.
