Penne with Cabbage and Potatoes

• 12 ounces whole wheat penne
• 3/4 pound green cabbage, chopped
• 1 large Yukon Gold potato (3/4 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 ounces Italian Fontina cheese, shredded (1 cup)

3. Fill the pasta pot with 1 inch of water.
4. Spread the cabbage in a steamer basket set over the pasta pot and top with the potato.
5. Steam the vegetables until very tender, stirring once or twice, about 10 minutes.
6. Pour off the water and wipe out the pot.
7. In the same pot, melt the butter in the olive oil.
8. Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

10. Cook until slightly dry, about 2 minutes.
11. Add the pasta with its cooking water and cook, stirring and breaking up the potato, until the sauce is creamy and thick, about 2 minutes.
