Author Notes
I love finding new ways to work greens into my dishes (aka: convincing my husband that they are delicious). I use whatever greens look best at market, but swiss chard is my favorite. You can use either good quality pre-made ravioli (perfect for weeknight dinner) or make your own when you have more time and energy. You can make this with more aggressive flavor by adding garlic and herbs, but I like the clean simplicity of highlighting the few ingredients. —MGrace
