Butter Caramelized Cabbage & Ground Chicken Orecchiette

Boil a medium pot of salted water and cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

Heat a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, spray with avocado oil and add the ground chicken and garlic. Break the ground chicken up with a spatula and mince until fully cooked and slightly browned.

Add the butter, let it melt, then add the cabbage mix. Stir to coat the cabbage in butter then cover with a lid. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until the cabbage is softened and slightly caramelized.

Add the cooked pasta, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, parmesan cheese, and a splash of pasta water. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 more minutes.

Taste and add salt, pepper, red chilli flakes, and extra pasta water if needed.

Steam the peas from frozen in the microwave with a little water, drain them and stir into the pasta.

Plate the pasta with extra grated parm, pepper, and green onions.
