Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz (113 grams) spaghetti or your favorite pasta shape
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- ¼ teaspoon chilli/red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ lb (220 grams) cabbage, shredded
- ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ cup (60 ml) cooking pasta water
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more to serve
- 2–3 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 2–3 tablespoon toasted pine nuts or walnuts
Instructions
- Cook the pasta by boiling a large pot of salted water and follow package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of hot pasta water before draining the pasta.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the sliced onion for about 4 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and chili flakes, cooking for 1 minute or until fragrant, without burning the garlic.
- Add the shredded cabbage and salt to the skillet, cooking for about 7 minutes until wilted. Gradually add the reserved pasta water to keep the mixture moist and prevent burning.
- Drain the pasta and mix it into the skillet with cabbage, adding grated parmesan and chopped parsley. Toss everything well, adding more pasta water if needed for moisture.
- Serve immediately with additional parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
