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.
