Cabbage, bacon and mascarpone penne

Cabbage is one of those vegetables that is rather forgotten about. It is very good pan-fried with a little butter and bacon - hopefully this pasta dish will get you inspired to use it more.

Ingredients

2 cups	Savoy cabbages, fine strips
1 Tbsp	Olive oil
2 cups	Red cabbages, fine strips
4	Bacon rashers, cut into pieces (Main)
¼ cup	Cream
½ cup	Mascarpone
4 cups	Angel hair pasta, cooked volume (Main)
1 Tbsp	Fresh dill, finely ripped
1 to taste	Salt & freshly ground pepper
½ cup	Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

1. Put the savoy and red cabbage into a colander and pour boiling water over.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the bacon until crisp. Add the cabbage and cook slowly, stirring often, until it is just soft.
3. Add the cream and the mascarpone, and mix them in well. Let it all cook together for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Fold through the cooked pasta and the dill, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Serve with the grated Parmesan sprinkled over.
