2. Meanwhile, in a Large Pot of Salted Boiling Water, Blanch the Chard Leaves For 3 Minutes. Drain and Let Cook Slightly. Squeeze Out the Excess Water. Form the Chard Leaves Into 8 Small Piles and Arrange Them in the Sauce Around the Side of the Skillet. (i Blanched and Dried the Chard in Advance to Make Things Easier--It'll Keep For at Least 30mins/1 Hr). |

Note: I Served With Crusty Bread Which Was Great For Dipping and Making Sure No Sauce Went to Waste! You Can Use Plain Marinara but the Arrabiata Gave This a Nice Little Kick--Highly Recommend It. I Made Without Bacon and Didn't Miss It. |
