Baked Tagliatelle & Cabbage (Pasta, Cabbage, & Cheese Ca
- 1 lb potato, such as Yukon Gold
- sea salt, fine grain, to taste
- 1 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
- 2 medium leeks, trimmed, thinly sliced, well washed
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 12 medium savoy cabbage (about1 lb or 16 oz or 450g) or 12 napa cabbage, cored and shredded (about1 lb or 16 oz or 450g)
- 12 cup vegetable broth or 12 cup water
- 1 12 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 12 cups parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 16 fresh sage leaves, sliced
- 12 ounces pasta (farro tagliatelle or other)
- 4 ounces Fontina cheese, cut into tiny cubes (Stracchino, tallegio, or other soft-rind farmhouse cheese would work, too)
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for cooking the pasta.
- In the meantime, in a separate pan, cover the potatoes with water and a few big pinches of salt.
- Simmer until just tender, somewhere between 30 - 45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Drain well, then slice into 1/4-inch rounds, toss gently with a bit of salt.
- Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the leeks and cook until soft, a few minutes.
- Stir in the garlic.
- Stir in the cabbage, and then the broth.
- Season with salt and cook, covered, for a few minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in the mustard, then 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, and half of the slivered sage leaves.
- Taste, adjust the seasoning if needed, and set aside.
- It should taste good on its own, with an assertive mustard flavor at this point.
- Cook the pasta in generously salted water until al dente.
- Drain and set aside.
- Generously butter a 9 x 13-inch (23cm x 33cm) baking dish, or equivalent.
- Arrange 1/2 of the noodles evenly in the bottom of the dish.
- Layer half the cabbage mixture, half of the potatoes, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and half of the cubed cheese on top of the noodles.
- Arrange the remaining noodles over the cheese and cover with the remaining cabbage, potatoes, and cubed cheese.
- Finish with the remaining Parmesan and slivered sage.
- At this point you can cover and refrigerate the casserole for up to a couple days, or bake in a 400F degree oven for 45 - 60 minutes - until the top is nicely golden, and it is hot throughout.
- Serve hot.
