In just 5 weeks we will be moving back up to Canada. Trying to juggle 3 kids and 9 years worth of stuff is hectic to say the least. I seem to manage a good breakfast, and a healthy lunch but come suppertime it seems I keep running out of time and having to whip something up in a hurry. A quick soup, a quick veg and a very quick pasta! Here is a full proof recipe that has become our staple a couple of nights a week. Enjoy!
Quick Pasta
1/4 Cup olive oil
1 Small onion, diced
2 Cloves garlic, minced
Big pinch of dried rosemary
1 medium head of cabbage, diced
1/2 Cup spring or filtered water
1/2 Cup mirin
1 lb Spaghetti
Sea salt to taste
In a large cast iron pan, heat the oil and saute the onion and garlic until golden. Add the rosemary and cabbage and sea salt. Mix well and saute for 5 minutes. Add the water and mirin , cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
Cook the spaghetti according to directions. Drain and place in a large serving bowl. Pour the cabbage mixture over the pasta. Mix well and serve.
