Thanks for checking in! I’ve never had chard in spaghetti sauce before ... sounds interesting. I’ve never grown chard either. It seems so popular with the gardening group that I may have to try some.

Is it a vegetable or an ornamental?

I use it in recipes which call for spinach. Have none available right now. FYI, Swiss Chard is very bitter when eaten raw and needs to be cooked. A simple recipe is the take the leaves and saute them with fresh garlic in a small amount of olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
