Ingredients
Preparation method
Preparation & cooking
Quarter the pointed cabbage lengthwise, cut out the core, and cut the leaves into strips about 1 cm wide. Peel the garlic cloves and cut them into thin slices. Wash the lemon with hot water, pat dry, and finely grate the zest.
Bring a large pot with plenty of water to a boil, salt generously, and cook the orecchiette al dente according to the package instructions. Before draining, ladle out about 100 ml of the starchy pasta cooking water and set aside.
Caramelizing & finishing
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium to high heat. Add the pointed cabbage strips and sear vigorously for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown at the edges and lightly caramelized.
Chef's tip
For extra crunch, you can simultaneously toast some panko breadcrumbs in olive oil in a small pan until golden brown and sprinkle them over the pasta as a crispy topping.
Pointed cabbage is particularly tender and sweet – make sure to let it brown nicely over good heat, as it is the roasted flavors that give the sauce its depth.
