Cabbage Alfredo

The humble cabbage gets luxurious treatment here, bathed in a creamy, cheesy Alfredo sauce. Savoy cabbage has crinkly leaves that soak up the sauce exceptionally well, but you can also use regular green cabbage. Giving cabbage a quick boil is a perfect way to tenderize it slightly while keeping it crunchy and preserving its attractive leafy appearance and color. Serve the dish as a fabulous side with crusty country bread or use it to top pasta or polenta for a satisfying vegetarian main course.
