Method
- 1
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta for 10 minutes, or as the packet says, until just tender. Drain, keeping a mug of the cooking water.
10 min - 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a very large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the bacon for 5 minutes until the fat runs and it starts to crisp.
5 min - 3
Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft and golden.
5 min - 4
Add the cabbage, caraway and salt. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage is soft and browned in places. It will look like far too much at first.
14 min - 5
Tip in the drained pasta and the pepper. Toss well over the heat for 2 minutes, adding a splash of cooking water if it looks dry.
2 min - 6
Scatter with parsley and serve straight from the pan.
