Swiss Chard and Leek 'Risotto'
This is like a risotto but using pasta instead of rice and much quicker

Serves 2

1-2 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 medium leek, finely sliced
1 bunch swiss chard, sliced
100g risoni or other small pasta shapes (eg farfallini)
500ml vegetable stock (hot)
Black pepper

Begin by frying the garlic and leek until starting to soften, then add the stock, pasta, and chard. Simmer for about 5 minutes. You may need to add a little more water. Remove from heat, cover, and leave for a couple of hours. Season with black pepper and reheat to serve.
