Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced green chard leaves
  • 1 container (454 g) Ricotta cheese
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) sea salt
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) freshly ground pepper
  • 1 1/2 cup (375 mL) grated Parmesan cheese, divided
