Emma’s Cabbage in a Pasta

When Emma makes this, she adjusts the recipe according to the type of cabbage she’s got. If it's thick, hardy cabbage, she’ll steam it for longer. If it’s a younger, more tender variety (or greens like pak choi) a light steam’ll do. Sometimes Emma will pop it in the pasta water for a bit before she drains the pasta. If you haven't got cabbage to hand this recipe also works brilliantly with kale.

1. Boil pasta till al dente. Steam your cabbage or greens. Once the pasta’s cooked, add the greens, stir, then drain immediately.
