Steps

30 minutes

1

Wash, drain, and chop the red cabbage in a food processor. Sauté it in a skillet with a drizzle of hot extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic.
2

Add the white wine and let it cook until the alcohol evaporates. Pour in the water, season with salt, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is almost completely reduced.
3

While the cabbage is cooking, remove the garlic and bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Add salt when it boils, then add the spaghetti.
4

Meanwhile, remove the cooked cabbage from the heat, add the grated cheese, a grind of black pepper, and mix well.
5

When the pasta is cooked, transfer it directly to the skillet with the sauce using tongs. Add some grated organic lemon zest, a small ladle of pasta cooking water, and toss the spaghetti, allowing the zest to release its oils.
6

Plate the spaghetti and finish with more grated lemon zest and, if desired, more black pepper.
