Preparation

  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the shredded cabbage, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes tender.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated with the sauce. Let it cook together for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and enjoy your Creamy Alfredo Cabbage Pasta while it's hot!

Notes

For variations, try different pasta types, substitute cabbage with leafy greens, or adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more cream or reserved pasta water. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months, reheating gently with added liquid.
