Heat olive oil in large sauté pan over medium high heat.
Add garlic cloves and chili flakes and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chard and a pinch of salt and sauté about 2 minutes.
Add tomatoes, wine and beans and simmer (while stirring occasionally) for about 5-8 minutes until chard is wilted and tomatoes have slightly broken down and released their juices.
Portion into bowls and top with some thick slices parmigiano cheese* and drizzle with olive oil.
