  • 2 medium onions, cut in half, then sliced

  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil(s) over medium heat, add the onion and sauté gently 5 minutes.

  3. Add the cabbage and sauté until the cabbage and onions are slightly soft. Don’t over brown the onions or cabbage.

  4. Add the spinach or kale, half at a time, and gently toss until the greens wilt, but does not get too mushy.

  6. When the pasta is tender, yet firm, drain well (do not rinse), and add immediately to the cabbage mixture.

  7. Toss gently to combine.

  8. Adjust seasoning and serve.

    *Of course any of our savory olive oils is wonderful with this. Herbes de Provence, Wild Dill, Wild Rosemary, even Chipotle or Cilantro and Roasted Onion Olive Oils will change up the flavor of this dish in amazing ways.
