Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 1 minute to soften. Add the Swiss chard. Cook and stir until the stems of the chard are tender. You can use some of the hot pasta water to help steam the chard in the covered pan. Stir the hot spaghetti into the chard mixture along with the capers. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice if desired. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

Rinse the fresh chard leaves very well, trim the stalk ends, and separate the leaves from the stems/stalks on each side. Chop the stalks into pieces of about 1cm to 2cm. Roughly chop the leaves. In a saucepan heat the oil, masala and onion to medium. Stir and cook for a few minutes. Add chopped chard stems, butter, mushrooms, garlic, nutmeg, salt and white pepper. Continue sauteeing and stirring on medium heat until the chard stems and mushrooms are soft. Add the water and chard leaves, give a good stir and put the lid on for a few minutes to steam the leaves until competely wilted. Pulse using a stick blender in the saucepan, slowly adding cream, until the creamed chard is the consistency you require. This is where your skill and personal preference come in! I prefer my chard to retain some chunky texture of mushroom and chard stems in a creamy green base. Finally stir in the feta cubes and allow them to slightly melt in the warm vegetables.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the chard: Tear the leaves off the stems, separating the leaves and stems. Thinly slice the stems, then coarsely tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. Set both aside in separate bowls. Prepare the leeks: Trim off the bottom and the dark green portion at the top, halve the remaining white and pale green portion lengthwise, then thinly slice them crosswise. Wash and drain the sliced leeks. Set aside. Prepare the bread crumbs: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium. Add the panko, season lightly with salt and generously with pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in nutritional yeast, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and melt over medium-high. Add the leeks, chard stems, garlic and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks start to wilt and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the torn chard, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until just wilted, 2 minutes. Add the stock and heavy cream, and boil over high until thickened, about 10 minutes. Once the mixture is simmering, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain pasta. Transfer chard mixture to the empty pasta pot. Stir in the cooked pasta, then sprinkle with the Parmesan, stirring vigorously to melt it into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among shallow bowls or plates. Sprinkle generously with the prepared bread crumbs, top with tarragon and grate fresh lemon zest on top. Serve immediately.
