Linguini with Swiss Chard, Golden Raisins, and Garlic Chips

Mmmmm...this is a warming, savory pasta dish with just a bit of sweet in the raisins. I added a little bit of crumbled blue cheese to each bowl, as well. I found the recipe at Smitten Kitchen, which has some really detailed photos of the making of the garlic chips, in case you are interested!

Ingredients:
linguini
two bunches of swiss chard, chopped with stems removed
8 to 10 cloves of garlic, sliced lengthwise
golden raisins
1 onion, finely chopped
blue cheese

Begin by making the garlic chips. In a sautee pan, heat some olive oil, and then add the sliced garlic. Let them become golden, and then remove them from the hot oil. In the same pan, sautee your chopped onion, and when it is translucent, add the swiss chard. Give the chard a good stir, evenly coating it with the onion and olive oil mixture, and cover. As the swiss chard becomes cooked, add the raisins and cover for a few more minutes. Stir in the linguini into the swiss chard, and add the garlic chips and blue cheese crumbles. Enjoy!
