SO HOW'D IT GO?
Great twist on my old standard spagetti. I feel so good about eating all that chard! I sauted the mushrooms and chard rather than cooking them in the sauce. And I used Tofurky Italian sausages instead of the tofu. Tasty. Also, the chard/mushroom/sausage mix was so much that I removed about a third of it before adding the pasta sauce to the pan. We'll use the rest of the mixture over rice at another meal, or non-vegans could have it with eggs for breakfast.
