Ingredients
-8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti (optional, can keep out and use cabbage as a side dish)
-3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
-1/2 small head green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
-2 tbsp thinly sliced garlic
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
-1 tsp ground pepper
-2 tbsp sherry vinegar
-1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
-1/4 cup heavy cream
Directions
-Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook spaghetti according to package directions, until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water; drain the spaghetti and set aside.
-Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage, garlic and salt; cook, stirring often, until the cabbage is tender and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
-Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, thyme and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in vinegar; cook, stirring often, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds.
-Stir in the spaghetti, the reserved 1/2 cup cooking water, 1/4 cup Parmesan and cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce becomes creamy and coats the spaghetti, about 1 minute.
-Divide among 4 bowls. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
