But when I was vegetarian this linguine with red cabbage and kale pasta was one of my favorite go-to dishes. I love how easy it is to make with only pasta, red cabbage, kale, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Linguine Pasta – This recipe uses linguine pasta, but you could use spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, or whatever type of pasta you have in your pantry!
- Red Cabbage – Red cabbage is fun, slightly crunchy, and vibrant in color. It doesn’t get as soft as green cabbage does when you saute it. However, the tender but slightly crunchy red cabbage pairs wonderfully with the sauteed kale and pasta.
- Kale – Kale is one of those vegetables that many people either really love or hate. But I found that even if you don’t like kale – if it is sauteed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, you might like it better! The combination of the sauteed red cabbage and kale really makes this dish amazing.
- Olive Oil – A good quality olive oil adds that slightly spicy tangy taste that only olive oil can provide. I don’t like to use a neutral-tasting oil for this recipe because you want to taste the oil that you cook the vegetables in.
