Swiss Chard and Spinach Pasta Bake

This week we had a huge bag of spinach and swiss chard from our CSA.  I found a recipe that called for spinach and pasta; I added swiss chard.  This was pretty decent.  We ate it as the main course; I think it would be better as a side dish.

• 8 ounces pasta
• 8 - 10 oz baby spinach
• 1-2 bunches swiss chard
• 3 Tbs butter
• 3 Tbs flour
• 1 1/2 cup low fat milk
• 14 tsp dried basil leaf
• salt and pepper
• 2 cups shredded mozerella
• 1 piece of break torn into bread crumbs
• 2 Tbs melted butter

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease a 8 in square baking dish.  Cook pasta and drain.  Meanwhile in a large saucepan, heat butter over medium - low heat.  Stir in flour until smooth and bubbly.  Add the milk and contine cooking, stirring until thickened.  Add basil and salt and pepper to taste.  Stir in spinach leaves and swiss chard until wilted; stir in hot drained pasta.  Stir in mozerella until blended well.  Spoon the pasta mixture into baking dish.  In a bowl toss bread crumbs and melted butter; sprinkle on pasta.  Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until nicely browned and hot.
