Marry Me Cabbage Pasta is a comforting and indulgent dish that transforms humble cabbage into silky ribbons roasted to perfection and tossed in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. This flavorful and cozy meal offers a delicious alternative to traditional pasta, featuring tender roasted cabbage coated in a rich, velvety sauce with garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese, finished with a touch of fresh parsley for brightness.

Ingredients

For the Roasted Cabbage

  • ½ medium green cabbage
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Salt to taste

For the Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Roast the Cabbage: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the core from the cabbage and slice it into thin ribbons about the width of wide pasta noodles, yielding approximately 5 to 6 cups. Spread the cabbage evenly over a large baking tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat thoroughly, then arrange the cabbage in a single layer for even roasting. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cabbage softens and its edges turn lightly golden.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: While the cabbage roasts, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the Italian seasoning and red chili flakes. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the heavy cream and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, allowing the sauce to cook for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine and Finish: Transfer the roasted cabbage into the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to evenly coat all the cabbage ribbons. Let the mixture cook together for an additional 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors meld perfectly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm, either as a satisfying main dish or a flavorful side.

Notes

  • Use green cabbage for the best texture and flavor, but savoy or Napa cabbage can be alternatives.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes based on your preferred spice level.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil can be drained and chopped to add richness to the sauce.
  • For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream and Parmesan with plant-based alternatives.
  • Ensure the cabbage is spread in a single layer during roasting for even cooking and caramelization.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
