Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 ounces spaghetti
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 head Savoy or green cabbage (about 2 pounds), halved, cored, and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot. Set aside.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add sausage; cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a plate; set aside (reserve skillet with rendered fat).
  • To skillet, add onion, 2 tablespoons water, and as much cabbage as will fit; season with salt and pepper. Cover; cook until tender, tossing occasionally and adding more cabbage as space becomes available, 6 to 10 minutes.
  • To pasta, add cabbage mixture and sausage. Toss with enough pasta water to create a sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in vinegar.
