    A quick and easy but tasty pasta dish with a glass of white wine and your favorite store-bought olive bread. And then perhaps a simple dessert, such as ice cream with hot fudge sauce. What better way to relax after work.

    Ingredients

    • For the pasta:
    • 1/2 lb fresh shrimp, deveined, and shelled
    • 1 14 1/2 oz can fire roasted tomatoes with garlic (drain the sauce)
    • about 8 stalks of Swiss chard ( you can use either green or red swiss chard. Photo shows green).
    • 2 cloves of garlic peeled and mashed
    • 4 tablespoons olive oil
    • salt 1 1/2 tsp
    • red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon
    • 1 1/3 cup chicken broth low salt
    • 2/3 cup white wine (not cooking wine)
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
    • Parmesan cheese shredded for garnish
    • 1 package of angel hair pasta cooked al dente in boiling salted water
