the old spaghetti factory

This is nothing special, hence the modest picture, but it's one of my staple dinners and it's always delicious so I thought I'd share it with you. It's spaghetti with cabbage. My trick is to quickly cook the cabbage over very high heat so that parts of it get brown but it still remains fairly crispy too. I cook the cabbage with crushed red pepper and garlic, then I finish the dish with feta cheese and/or parmesan. Also, I used to think I didn't like pasta cooked al dente, but I recently discovered that yes, al dente IS better - it's got a nice sort of chewy texture, you should try it!

It's red cabbage, but any type of cabbage would do.
