I was desperately craving something cheesy and carb loaded, but I wanted a lower carb alternative so I substituted a head of cabbage in place of additional noodles in this carbonara. You can not even tell its in there, yet its a good nutritional filler. My kids and husband gobbled this up. Its so creamy and delicious!

Steps

25 mins

1

Saute cabbage in your oil over medium heat for 5 minutes. I used bacon grease for more flavor.
2

Add your diced onion, ham, and mushroom to the cabbage. Sautee on medium for 2 or 3 minutes, then turn to low.
3

Season sauteing vegetables and ham as you wish. I added pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic.
4

Meanwhile, boil your noodles until al dente.
5

When the noodles are finished add them to the saute pan along with the ragu mozzerella sauce and heavy cream.
6

Mix well and pour into a 9x13 casserole dish. Add Mozzerella cheese on top. Bake at 450 until top is a light golden brown. About 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with parmesan if desired.
