Rinse and drain separately the Swiss chard stems and leaves. In a large

moderate heat, stirring, until the garlic is pale golden, add the stems and
1/4 cup of the water, and cook the mixture, covered, for 5 minutes, or
until the stems are just tender. Add the leaves with the remaining 1/4 cup

While the chard is cooking, in a kettle of salted boiling water boil the
penne until it is al dente and drain it in a colander. In a large bowl toss
the penne with the chard mixture and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and serve it
with the additional Parmesan.
