Swiss chard and garbanzo pasta

From Athens Locally Grown

<p>This is a great, quick, nutritious recipe. I found it online while searching for more ways to cook the delicious Swiss chard we get from Athens Locally Grown, and I&#8217;ve changed it only by adding the mushrooms and onion.</p> <p>Could be vegan without the feta, of course.</p>
