Notes
I like to serve this dish with pesto "pasta". I use 1/2 sorghum capellini and half shredded cabbage. My grandfather would roll over in his grave, but adding the cabbage adds a lot of volume to the pasta without adding a lot of extra calories. It's difficult to even tell that the cabbage is in the pasta. It blends in, tastes like, and has the texture of pasta... plus it's inexpensive.
