Italian Pasta With Cabbage And Sausage Recipes

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE, CARAMELIZED CABBAGE AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 7 minutes; drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the sausage and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and crumbled, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
• Add the cabbage, onion, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Cover and cook, stirring regularly, until the cabbage has completely wilted and starts to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, goat cheese and reserved sausage until evenly combined. Stir in the pasta, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

CABBAGE AND SMOKED SAUSAGE PASTA

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil.

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, olive oil, and cabbage; season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sausage and bow tie pasta; cook until completely heated, about 5 minutes more. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

ITALIAN PASTA WITH CABBAGE AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Sauté with a little olive oil, the cabbage, bell pepper, onion and garlic in large dutch oven or wok over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally and when the cabbage mixture has cooked down to about half the volume, add tomatoes and chicken broth along with the sausage. Once it comes to a boil, add pasta and cook until pasta is al dente. If the mixture becomes dry to where it starts burning and the pasta isn't absorbing anymore water but is dry, turn down the heat a notch to medium add 2 cups water or more over time and cook until the pasta is al dente. You want the liquid to be absorbed by the pasta but not runny. (The amount of liquid is dependent on the amount of moisture in the cabbage) Serve with grated Parmesan Romano cheese.

SPAGHETTI WITH SWEET SAUSAGE AND CABBAGE

• To skillet, add onion, 2 tablespoons water, and as much cabbage as will fit; season with salt and pepper. Cover; cook until tender, tossing occasionally and adding more cabbage as space becomes available, 6 to 10 minutes.
• To pasta, add cabbage mixture and sausage. Toss with enough pasta water to create a sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in vinegar.
