📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish adding cabbage's sweetness and the savoriness of Thai fish sauce to Italy's simple pasta, aglio olio e peperoncino. The fish sauce plays the role of anchovies, giving a satisfying flavor with just pasta, cabbage, and garlic. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a night with nothing but cabbage in the fridge, the cabbage is boiled in the same pot as the pasta and tossed in garlic-scented oil.
