This red cabbage pasta is a deliciously filling meal for lunch or dinner.

This recipe came about due to some peanut sauce I had left over. I wanted something that would keep me full for a while because I had a lot to do that day and wouldn’t have time to sit down and eat for quite a few hours, and this pasta dish totally came to the rescue!

  • Sauté until the onions are translucent and the cabbage and kale have
    wilted.

    broth only if the oil runs out and you need to continue cooking.
