This meatball and Swiss chard white lasagna recipe is the ultimate creamy comfort food! The savory Mozzarella Rustica meatballs, creamy ricotta, and nutty Parmesan perfectly complement the slightly bitter Swiss chard. While there are a few steps to this recipe, it’s easy to prepare and delivers rich, rewarding flavor. Make ahead—cover and refrigerate or freeze right after preparing for a future meal. So hearty and delicious, you’ll be hearing “another square, please” no matter when you serve it!
