Cook the pasta al dente.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot add the onion and sauté for a couple of minutes.
Add the garlic, chard stems, and mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms start to release their moisture.
Add the Swiss Chard leaves, ham, mustard powder, crushed fennel seeds and about 2 Tbsps water from the cooking pasta. Sauté on medium low heat until the leaves have wilted.
Pour in the half and half and heat for about 1 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta, a generous amount of cracked pepper, and some chopped parsley. Toss to coat.
Taste. Salt is needed. However, remember that you'll be adding a little cheese to each serving if desired.
Serve into pasta bowls, scooping up vegetables for each serving. Top with a little bit of grated cheese and enjoy!
