Linguini with Carrots & Cabbage

This is such a simple and healthy dish, almost anyone will love it. Cabbage is so inexpensive and versatile and it goes extremely well with pasta. I've made this over and over and my husband loves it more each time. See below:

Ingredients:

- 1/2 pound linguine
- 1/4 head of green cabbage, chopped longways
- 1/4 head of purple cabbage, chopped longways
- 2 large carrots, shredded
- 1 whole onion, chopped longways
- salt
- pepper
- crushed red pepper
- Olive Oil

To Make:

In a large pot, boil water for your pasta. Salt the water when it boils and cook your pasta according the the package, al-dente.

While the water is heating up, in a large saute pan, lightly drizzle the bottom with olive oil and add your onions and cabbage into the mix. Saute on med. high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add your carrots and mix together. Add a few more drizzles of olive oil. Add in as much crushed red pepper as you can handle :-)

This should cook for about 15 minutes total. The cabbage will take a little bit until it's tender. Taste a small bit and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Drain your pasta and add immediately into the veggie mix. Drizzle a bit more olive oil on top, toss together with tongs and serve immediately.

Quick and delicious... a true crowd pleaser!
