DIRECTIONS

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. While pasta is cooking, brown Lottie's Calabrian ground pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove and set aside for later.
3. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil into skillet, add onion, cabbage and garlic to pan. Season with a heavy pinch of salt. 
4. Cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms, thyme and sausage back to the skillet. 
5. Turn to low heat and add goat cheese and heavy cream, stir to combine. 
6. Drain pasta and add it to the skillet with the sausage and cabbage mixture. Toss to combine, adding a little pasta water for preferred consistency.
7. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, serve immediately with grated parmesan cheese. 

*Note on the mushrooms: 

We used some cooked mushrooms we had on hand that were sauteed in a little butter and deglazed with a splash of sherry vinegar and seasoned with salt. These added a vibrant and savory flavor to the pasta dish. You can also use fresh and cook them with cabbage and onions.
