Ingredients

1 spring cabbage (see Note)

a few handfuls of fleckerl (see Note) or farfalle

1 tbsp ghee or vegetable oil

1 small bunch spring onions, cut into 2 cm lengths

1 tbsp white sugar

1 tsp roughly chopped caraway seeds

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to season

fresh marjoram leaves, to serve

Method:

1. Cut the cabbage in half and remove the core. Cut into quarters, then crosswise into 2 cm strips.

2. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted water until al dente (it should be ready when the cabbage is cooked). Drain, reserving some cooking water.

3. Meanwhile, melt the ghee in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the spring onions and stir-fry until just browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Melt the remaining ghee, sprinkle in the sugar and cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown and caramelised.

5. Add the cabbage (take care as the caramelised sugar is very hot) and cook, stirring constantly, for 2–3 minutes or until combined. Stir in the caraway seeds and deglaze with the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Fold in the pasta. Add some cooking water to loosen, if necessary.

7. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the fresh marjoram and serve hot.
