Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 medium head cabbage (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds) preferably green
- 1 medium shallot
- 3 to 4 large cloves garlic
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for the pasta water
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more as needed
- 8 ounces dried rigatoni or penne or fusilli pasta
- 1 small bunch fresh chives
- 2 ounces Parmesan cheese plus more for serving
Instructions
- Remove the cabbage core and slice the cabbage thinly, then peel and slice the shallot and mince the garlic.
- Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat and soften the shallot for about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant for roughly 1 minute.
- Stir in the cabbage and season with salt and pepper, cooking on medium to medium-low heat until the cabbage turns tender and deeply golden, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While cabbage cooks, bring salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; reserve some pasta water and drain.
- Slice chives thinly and grate Parmesan cheese finely.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the cabbage and Parmesan in the pot, add reserved pasta water gradually, and toss over medium heat until a smooth sauce forms.
- Stir in the chives and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, then serve topped with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
