Cook fusilli per package directions.

Add chard stems and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in parsley and chard leaves and cook 1 minute longer or until liquid has mostly evaporated and leaves are wilted.
