sorry, I meant to say - double the parmesan!!!
My whole family loves this recipe! Do not skip the raisins! To simplify, I throw in one of those 5 oz. boxes of salad greens - baby spinach, or sometimes I can find a kale/chard mix - instead of the chard as listed.
I wanted to LOVE this recipe as is.The guts of this recipe are great, however the flavor profile seemed a bit bland so I add a few things that made it 5 stars. First, I opted for turkey sausage. I also added red pepper flakes, a splash of dry red wine, a bit of grated mozzarella and topped the dish with a dollop of goat cheese and omitted the raisins. I didn't have Swiss chard so I used baby spinach instead. For my husband and I, the goat cheese made this!
I have often made a dish quite like this with kale and linguini. I think I like aspects of both and will combine them. I like the gemelli better, but the kale from the other dish. Next time I would use hot Italian, not mild. I used chicken broth instead of the pasta water, and added hot pepper flakes with the chard and garlic. The raisins gave it interest, and the pine nuts a nice contrast in texture. Some cream wouldn't be out of place. And I was more generous with the parmesan. Very nice.
We are eating this right now! Sooo goood! I omitted the raisins. Added a bit of cream and some oregano. The girls are wolfing it down! Thanks!
My family, kids 9 and 12, loves this dish.
Outrageously good!!!! The whole family liked it which is very unusual for us. I replaced the Italian sausage with chicken, apple and gouda sausage cut into 1/2 inch chunks and whole wheat pasta, less fat and more fiber.
I've been looking for a good chard recipe, can't wait to try this!
I used the vegan italian sausage by Field Roast (Whole Foods, Wild Oats) and it was fabulous...good for vegetarians.

Turkey sausage or chicken sausage, both lower in calories and fat, would work just as well in this recipe.
To jhummert: Then don't eat it.
and definitely yes to the raisins. They add a lot....really the finishing touch - a bit of sweet with the spice of the sausage and the crunch of the nuts
so good. Cooked this tonight - used whole wheat fusili, spicy chicken sausage and added some red pepper flakes - this is wonderful. and will definitely be added to the dinner rotation
Isn't sausage really UNHEALTHY???
This was a delicious and easy dish that I highly recommend. I substituted chicken sausage for the pork sausage and it tasted great. One thing I highly recommend is to keep the raisins in there. They add something great!
This was a hot HIT with my somewhat picky family. One (kinda major) substitution: I didn't think the raisins would go over very well so I swapped them for sundried tomatoes. The dinner was praised as being "restaurant quality" and everything! I did have one vegetarian guest and it was simple to make a smaller, meatless batch -- I added a bit more swiss chard and cheese to that pan though.
