Instruction

  • Fill a medium stock pot full of water to boil for cooking the pasta. Cook according to package directions, then drain and rinse with cold water to remove any excess starches, set aside.
  • Measure out the Spice/Herb ingredients into a small bowl, mix well, set aside.
  • In the meantime, in a large ceramic/enamel-lined Dutch oven, skillet or similar stock pot, add the diced onions, red bell pepper, and grated carrots, sauté over medium-high heat until the onions begin to soften, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent burning. Add a tablespoon or so of water if they start to stick and/or to prevent burning.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and tamari, continue to sauté for several minutes or until the cabbage starts to wilt. Add 2 tablespoons of water to enhance the cabbage wilting process.
  • Add the minced garlic, stirring constantly one minute. Then add all the remaining ingredients, including the Spice/Herb mix (except the cooked pasta). Do not add the cooked pasta yet. Simmer the cabbage mixture over low heat for 7 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
  • Place the cooked pasta in with the cabbage mixture and simmer over low heat for several minutes. Then remove from the stove, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and allow to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and marry.  After 5 minutes, discard the bay leaf and serve with an extra sprinkle of sweet paprika and freshly chopped parsley.
