Cabbage And Sage Pasta Blue Apron Recipes

CABBAGE AND SAGE PASTA (BLUE APRON)

Steps:

• Start boiling a pot of salted water. Add pasta when ready, and cook until al dente (slightly firm). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining (to be used later).
• In a large saute pan, heat up a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high heat until hot. Add sliced cabbage and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened.
• To the cabbage, add the sage and as much of the red pepper flakes as you wish, depending on how spicy you'd like it. Add more salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
• Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the cabbage and cook another 1 to 2 minutes while stirring frequently.
• Add the cooked pasta, butter, and half the shredded cheese, and 1/2 the remaining pasta water to the cabbage pan. Add more salt and pepper to taste, cook on medium-high, stirring vigorously, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly coated. If pasta seems dry, keep adding more pasta water to achieve desired consistency. Remove from heat when done.
• Optional: add browned and drained ground turkey to the cabbage pasta, and mix well.
• Serve immediately, topping with more sage and red pepper flakes if desired, and generous amount of shredded cheese. Buon Appetito!

PASTA WITH BUTTER, SAGE AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Cook pasta until it is tender, but not quite done.
• Meanwhile, place butter in a skillet or saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta; turn heat to medium, and add sage. Cook until butter turns nut-brown and sage shrivels, then turn heat to a minimum.
• When the pasta is just about done, scoop out a cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. Immediately add it to the butter-sage mixture, and raise heat to medium. Add 3/4 cup of the water, and stir; the mixture will be loose and a little soupy. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until some of the water is absorbed and the pasta is perfectly done.
• Stir in cheese; the sauce will become creamy. Thin it with a little more water if necessary. Season liberally with pepper and salt to taste, and serve immediately, passing more cheese at the table if you like.

PASTA WITH CARAMELIZED CABBAGE, ANCHOVIES AND BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Mince one garlic clove. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the anchovies and cook, mashing with a spatula, until they dissolve into the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the bread crumbs and sage and cook until bread is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Season with black pepper.
• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until barely al dente. Drain.
• While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic and cook until golden brown. Add the chile and cook until fragrant. Stir in the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Toss in the pasta and bread-crumb mixture and heat through, then quickly toss in the cheese and remove from heat. Season with salt and more pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.
