Steps
To make
Let’s start with the cabbage, you need to wash it, leaf it, and remove the central rib.
Then cut it into julienne.
Chop the onion into small pieces
and place it in a skillet with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Let it infuse for about 3 minutes.
Now add the julienne cabbage, with 200 ml of milk and 200 ml of water, a pinch of salt, and cook covered for about 30 minutes after it starts boiling.
Once the time has passed, use an immersion blender to blend everything.
Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, and if you like, add a hint of nutmeg.
Put the water for the pasta on the stove.
In a skillet or wok, put the bacon, turn on the heat, and render it.
As soon as the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the bacon. Stir on the stove,
then add the cabbage cream and, if needed, a ladle of pasta cooking water.
A sprinkle of Parmesan and serve.
Storage: You can keep the sauce in the fridge for up to 2 days.
