Rigatoni with Cabbage and Creme Fraiche

  1. In a food processor, pulse the bread until coarse crumbs form.
  2. In a skillet, melt the butter in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  3. Add the breadcrumbs and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 minutes.
  4. Season with salt.
  5. In a large straight-sided skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  6. Add the bacon and cook over moderate heat until crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain.
  7. Add the onion, garlic and crushed red pepper to the skillet and cook until the onion is softened, about 2 minutes.
  8. Add the cabbage and stock and bring to a simmer.
  9. Cook, stirring, until almost all of the stock has evaporated, 8 minutes.
  10. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente.
  11. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  12. Toss the pasta with the cabbage.
  13. Stir in the creme fraiche, the 1/2 cup of cheese and, if necessary, the reserved pasta water; season with salt and black pepper.
  14. Transfer the pasta to bowls and garnish with the breadcrumbs, bacon and black pepper.
  15. Serve with additional cheese on the side.
