CABBAGE PASTA

My husband loves pasta and I live for veggies. This cabbage pasta dish is the best of both worlds. The cabbage replaces some of the pasta, but you don’t have to skimp in the flavor. I’ve heard it’s also a great way to sneak some veggies into those picky eaters at your dinner table!

Ingredients

½ lb. pasta
olive oil
1 lb. lean ground turkey
2 large garlic cloves minced
1 head Cabbage sliced (approx. 12 Cups)
1 ½ cups stock
chili flakes optional
salt
fresh pepper

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons salt to boiling water before adding pasta. Reserve at least ½ Cup pasta water just before draining pasta.
Meanwhile heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in very large saute pan or pot with lid. Add ground turkey. Season with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook 6-8 minutes. Remove turkey from pan and cover. It's ok if turkey isn't completely cooked through at this point as it will return to the pan later.
Add minced garlic to pan. Cook 1 minute until fragrant. Add cabbage. Let cook 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning garlic. Add stock. Cover and cook 6 minutes. Stir cabbage. Add turkey back to pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add ½ Cup pasta water and chili flakes (if desired).
Add pasta and stir carefully - your pan/pot will be full.
