Cabbage & pancetta

[tinkerbell23]

I posted ages ago about my having a tasty cabbage and pancetta creamy thing with my xmas dinner!!

Its just creme fraiche, cabbage and errrr you guessed pancetta!!!!! I could have this with pasta couldnt i!!?

So do i just basically boil cabbage!? (how long) bung it all in with pasta and season mmmm mabye with parmesan? X

[ummmm]

I would steam the cabbage until it's just going soft. Fry some pancetta to how you like it, add some shallots, then add the cabbage....cream/creme fraiche...season well...then add to cooked pasta.

I like creamed cabbage :-)

Never thought of having it with pasta. Might give it a bash myself.

You could put garlic in with that as well....

[ummmm]

And a splash of wine...

Personally I don't like cabbage.
I would fry off the pancetta as the pasta was cooking. The cabbage would be firm and fresh and I would shred it finely. As the pancetta was nearing done I would add cabbage and stir through until it began to wilt. Add cream or whatever and heat through then add pasta.

'rents=parents

There's no need to cook the cabbage separately once you've cooked off onion, garlic and pancetta, add the shredded cabbage along with a good glug of wine/sherry/vermouth/cider and bung on a lid and let the cabbage steam that way. After 3 minutes or so, take off the lid and cream and seasoning, lett bubble and then at the end add parmesan.
