Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the onion and cook over medium heat until golden and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Once water is boiling, add cauliflower and some salt, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove cauliflower with a slotted spoon and set aside. Set aside ½ cup of the water.

  4. Step 4

    Add the penne to the boiling water, stir it and let it cook for about 8 minutes, until al dente.

  5. Step 5

    While the penne is cooking, add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned; then, add the Swiss chard and cook, stirring, until it wilts, another 3 minutes or so. Stir in the cauliflower and reserved cooking liquid and the red pepper. Season with salt.

  6. Step 6

    When the penne is done, drain it, add it to the skillet and toss with the vegetables over low heat. Serve at once, dusted with cheese.
