Description

Ingredients

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 cone cabbage or 8 ounces green cabbage, shredded
• 6 fresh sage leaves, stacked and sliced (chiffonade)
• 8 ounces whole wheat Rigatoni pasta
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 3/4 cup milk
• 4 ounces fontina cheese, grated
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Coat a 1-quart baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Bring 2 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt to boil. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add potato and onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add cabbage and sage and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until has cabbage has wilted, stirring occasionally, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in one couple of water and cook until evaporated, stirring occasionally, about 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, add pasta and cook until just shy of al dente, about 7 minutes. Remove 3/4 cup pasta cooking water and set aside. Drain thoroughly and wipe out pot. Return pot to stove and over medium-high heat, melt butter until foaming subsides. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in flour and cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in milk and reserved pasta water until thickened, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in half the Fontina cheese until combined and melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To the cheese sauce, add cooked vegetables and cooked pasta. Stir throughly to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Fontina cheese and half the parmesan cheese over the pasta. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let stand 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining parmesan cheese.
