White Bean and Swiss Chard Fettucine

I have been scouring my cookbooks/magazines lately to find new vegetarian meals. I found this recipe in this months issue of Shape magazine. It was really simple and very delicious. 

Wouldn't you know that I forgot the beans. I used soy beans instead of white beans because it's what we had. But I almost used chickpeas as well. Any white bean would probably be delicious. 

How beautiful is this? There was one pink among the yellows. I combined everything in my saute pan. I will say that I used Pam spray instead of the oil to saute the garlic. Because of this we squeezed lemon juice on ours before we ate it. 

And bon appetite!
