Cabbage and Smoked Sausage Pasta

My mother first created this for our family in high school. Now that I'm on my own, I make it at least once a month. It is so comforting!

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• ¼ cup olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
• 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
• 1 large head green cabbage, shredded

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, olive oil, and cabbage; season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sausage and bow tie pasta; cook until completely heated, about 5 minutes more. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
