Classic Austrian cabbage pasta

Ingredients

  • 300 g pasta (small, square noodles)
  • 500 g white cabbage or pointed cabbage
  • 1 onion
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp caraway (to taste)
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 200 ml vegetable stock
  • Freshly chopped parsley

Directions

  1. Prepare the cabbage: Quarter the cabbage, remove the stalk and cut into 1x1 cm cubes.

  2. Fry the onions: Peel and finely dice the onions. Heat the oil in a large pan or saucepan and fry the onion until translucent.

  3. Caramelise the cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage and sugar. Gently caramelise and brown over a medium heat, stirring constantly.

  4. Season and simmer: Add the caraway seeds (if using), salt and pepper to the cabbage. Deglaze with the vegetable stock, cover and simmer over a low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until the cabbage is soft but still al dente.

  5. Cooking the pasta: Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente, drain and mix into the cabbage. Mix everything together well and season to taste. If necessary, add a little more pasta water.

  6. Serving suggestions: Serve the cabbage pasta hot and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if you like.
