Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the red onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the red cabbage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage begins to soften.
Add the golden raisins, red wine vinegar, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta in the cabbage mixture. If the mixture seems too dry, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon zest if needed.
Serve the spaghetti warm, garnished with grated parmesan cheese (if using) and fresh parsley.
