Spaghetti with Red Cabbage and Feta is a simple, yet satisfying and delicious meal. Great as a side, or perfect as a vegetarian entree.

Red cabbage is one of those vegetables that I'm just kinda "meh" about. I sometimes buy one to add a little color to my coleslaw, but other than that, I don't really have much love for it. So when I found myself with an abundance of red cabbage a few weeks ago, I decided to figure out what I could make.

The internet gave me TONS of recipes for German sweet braised red cabbage, with or without apples, but I've never been a big fan of that dish. Pass.

But that did remind me that I usually braise my green cabbage (note to self: post that recipe someday), so I figured I could do something similar with red too, without apples. I put it on spaghetti (because everything is better with pasta) and added cheese (because Wisconsin), and I got Spaghetti with Red Cabbage and Feta Cheese.

Is Spaghetti with Red Cabbage and Feta Good?

Now I can tell what you're probably thinking. Trust me, this is one of those recipes that tastes better than it sounds. I mean, I think the pictures look pretty yummy (if I do say so myself), but cabbage, on spaghetti??

It really is good. So much so that I made it several times over the course of a couple of weeks (to use up all that red cabbage of course). How something so simple as onion, garlic, cabbage, salt, pepper, and a little cheese can taste so good when you mix them all together will never fail to amaze me.

And the fact that this dish is so simple, and requires only a short time to cook, makes it the perfect meal to whip up on a busy weeknight. Well, now I know what I'm going to do anytime I have leftover red cabbage.

How to make Spaghetti with Red Cabbage and Feta:

This dish is incredibly easy to make, and takes only a few basic ingredients.

Prep for the cabbage is easy and can be accomplished while the spaghetti is cooking. However, you will be required to thinly slice the cabbage, which is easiest (and safest) to accomplish if you have a good, sharp knife. Otherwise you can use a mandoline.

instacartGet Recipe Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the sliced onion until soft, about 3-5 minutes, reducing heat to medium-low if onions begin to brown. Add the minced garlic and ⅛ teaspoon red chili flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 pound shredded red cabbage, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook until cabbage is softened, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Portion the spaghetti onto 4 bowls or plates. Distribute the cabbage mixture over the pasta, and top each with 1 Tablespoon of crumbled Feta. Serve immediately.

Notes

It's easy to shred red cabbage by slicing it very thin with a sharp knife. However, if your knives are on the dull side, use a mandoline (and then go sharpen your knives).
