    Title: Creamy Pasta w/Bacon & Red Cabbage
    Categories: Pasta, Pork, Vegetables, Dairy, Cheese
    Yield: 5 servings

    1 lb Cavatappi, fusilli or other
    - short, curvy pasta
    Salt
    2 tb Olive oil
    8 oz Thick-cut bacon; in 1/4"
    - pieces
    1 md Red onion; thin sliced
    4 c Thin sliced red cabbage; in
    - pieces no larger than 3"
    - wide
    Black pepper
    1 c Heavy cream
    1/4 c Grated pecorino or Parmesan;
    - more for serving
    2 tb Mixed chopped fresh herbs;
    - for garnish (opt)

    Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling
    water (2 heaping tablespoons salt to about 7 quarts

    water) according to package instructions until it's just
    short of al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, and drain.

    Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a 12"
    skillet, preferably with sides. Add the bacon and cook
    until crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes, then remove with a
    slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper
    towels.

    Add the onion to the pan, toss to coat in the rendered
    bacon fat and cook until translucent, about 1 to 2
    minutes. Add the cabbage, toss to combine and cook until
    the cabbage is tender but maintains its vibrant color,
    about 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

    Turn the heat to low and add the pasta to the skillet
    along with the bacon, heavy cream and grated cheese
    tossing to coat until the pasta is glossy with sauce and
    it thickens slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. If you want
    the pasta saucier, add in 1/4 to 1 cup pasta water and
    toss until the desired consistency is reached. Top with
    the mixed herbs and pass grated cheese at the table, if
    desired.
