Spaghetti with Bacon and Cabbage

When I arrived home this evening, I arrived to the wonderful smell of lardons frying. Kerri was making spaghetti with lardons and cabbage. When the lardons had fried for a while, we added sliced red onion and crushed garlic with a good grind of pepper. We cooked these until the onion had softened, then added a splash of wine and let it cook until the alcohol had evaporated. Then we added shredded cabbage to the pan, stirred it up a bit and put on the lid, allowing the cabbage to steam.

While that was all happening, we cooked some spaghetti, then drained it and added the cabbage and lardons to it. The result was tasty, but could do with a bit more sauce to coat the pasta; some cream would go well if added to the lardons, onions and garlic to soak up the flavours and spread them around.
