I dropped this off at school this morning for a luncheon they are having today. I found the recipe yesterday (on the Kitchn blog), put it together last night, and just heated and ate a small bowl that I’d saved for myself. Boy was it good. It’s so satisfying when a recipe you think will be tasty really is, isn’t it? Though it’s only one of today’s luncheon dishes, at home this could be a real one-dish meal. It is so full of good things: Swiss chard and goat cheese, of course, but also red onion, garlic, tomatoes, kidney beans, olive tapenade, capers, parmesan cheese and whole wheat pasta. Definitely a keeper. And you can serve it hot or at room temperature, though I can only vouch for it heated. I doubled the recipe and added a little more tapenade and parmesan after tasting. After I assembled all the ingredients, I covered the casserole and put it in the fridge. I figured they could bake it at school before serving, but they might have decided to serve it at room temperature instead.

yep! it was a hit! super healthy & yummy, what could be better than that? great bumping into you today at Peet’s! xoxo
