Pasta with Cabbage

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Here is a very simple, but surprisingly yummy way to do pasta. It was inspired

by watching an episode of Jamie Oliver's TV show, but has been developed by my

husband to meet a low point value for weightwatchers. So, if you don't care

about the cheese content, add more - possibly double the amount - for extra

flavour. The number of servings depend on you. It serves us as a main for two.

 

Happy eating.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

90 grams pasta -- (any kind)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 onion -- finely chopped

1/4 cabbage -- shredded

30 grams parmesan cheese -- grated

garlic -- optional

 

Cook the pasta in boiling water.

Saute the onion in the olive oil until translucent in a frying pan. Add the

garlic, if using. Add the shredded cabbage, cover until the cabbage softens

slightly. Uncover, turn cabbage/onion mix until very lightly browned and

cabbage is soft but not soggy.

Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking liquor. Add to the cabbage/onion

mix and stir through. Add parmesan and mix again adding reserved cooking liquor

if neccessary to get a creamy consistency.
