Radicchio Pasta

or try this recipe with spicy sausage and sundried tomatoes too :)

• 3 thick slices bacon

• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced

• 1 tsp red pepper flakes

• 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

• 1 small head radicchio, halved, cored, and thinly sliced

• 1 lb pasta

• 1/4-1/2 cup nuts, toasted then chopped (walnuts, cashews, pistachios, pine nuts, a mix-up to you :)

• 1/4-1/2 cup cheese (shredded gruyere or parmesan, crumbled feta or goat cheese, you name it!)

PREPARATION

• Cut the bacon in small slices and cook in a dutch oven or large skillet until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp.

• Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to the pan and sautee for a minute more.

• Add the radicchio to the pot, stir, and turn off the heat.

• Meanwhile cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until just al dente.

• Scoop the cooked pasta right into the pan sauce, don't worry if a little cooking water comes along for the ride, it will help make the sauce. Toss well and add the nuts and cheese. At this point you can add a little more pasta water if it seems too dry. Season with fresh cracked pepper if needed

Napa Cabbage is so tender and mild it is super versatile. It can be used raw where you’d use a good ol summer head of lettuce (salads, sammies, wraps) or cooked up in soups and stir fries… and that is a far from comprehensive list. Here’s a list of napa recipes

At my house, carrots + butternut squash (+ onions + garlic) almost always = soup!
