      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.
