The ingredients for Rainbow Pasta (1 cup serving size) are:

Rainbow Pasta
?????????6 oz of cooked whole wheat pasta
?????????2 tsp olive oil (10g)
?????????1 small sweet onion chopped (or not)
?????????3-4 cloves of garlic minced
?????????1/2 lb Rainbow Chard washed
?????????15oz can of diced tomatoes
?????????1-2 pinches of salt
?????????1/2 tsp dried basil (plus more to taste) and/or fresh basil leaves
?????????1 15oz can of great northern beans drained and rinsed
Put on a pot of boiling water and cook the pasta according to the package. Wash the chard. Chop it up a bit and separate the stems from the leaves. Cook them at different times since the stalks will take longer. Heat the 2 tsp of oil in the pan over medium high heat. Add the onion and the garlic. Add the chard stalks. The pan may start to get dry as the onion and garlic cook. That?s ok. Add the can of diced tomatoes and baby basil leaves (or dried). Add a pinch of salt. Add the leaves of the chard and stir until they start to wilt. Add the beans. At this point we tasted it and thought it needed some more basil. We added 1/2 tsp and another pinch of salt. Add the cooked and drained pasta and again stir to coat. As soon as all ingredients are well mixed, serve!
