In a large bowl, toss the onion slices with the thyme, 2 T. olive oil, 1\/4 tsp. salt and 2 T. balsamic vinegar. Spread the oven on a baking pan and roast them for 30 to 40 minutes, until they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re soft and caramelized. Stir them after 20 minutes of roasting. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add 1 T. salt. When the water returns to a boil add the chard and cook for 2 minutes, or until wilted and tender. Using tongs, remove the chard from the water and drain in a colander. Bring the water to a boil again and cook the pasta according to the package instructions.\u00c2\u00a0 While the pasta cooks, heat the remaining 2 T. of olive oil in a large pan. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute over medium heat, just until it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fragrant. Add the pine nuts and cook for 1 more minute. Add the swiss chard and 1\/4 C. of the pasta water, then cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the roasted onion slices and cook until they are heated through. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large serving bowl. Add the vegetable mixture and toss. Season with extra balsamic vinegar, if you like.
