Time 37m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb spaghetti or 1 lb linguine
1/2 small head savoy cabbage, outer leaves removed and shredded (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons margarine
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 -2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta one minute less than the package directions indicate. Reserve one cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta, and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the margarine to the hot oil. When the margarine foams, add the cabbage and sprinkle with salt. Over medium heat, sauté the cabbage until it begins to soften, but does not brown (about 10-15 minutes). Add the lemon zest and vinegar, cooking an additional 2 minutes until the zest becomes fragrant.
  • Over low heat, fold in the pasta, a little of the pasta water, the cottage cheese, and lemon juice. Sprinkle with the sugar and season with salt to taste. Add additional pasta water if the mixture is too dry. Serve immediately.

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. The cabbage was cooked well, but the noodles were a little dry. The sauce also needed a little more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. The cabbage was a little too crunchy, and the noodles were a little too soft. I think I'll try it again, but I'll make some adjustments.

This dish was a little bland for my taste, but it was still good. The cabbage and noodles were cooked perfectly, but the sauce needed a little more flavor. I added some garlic and ginger, and that helped a lot.
