Fresh Linguine with Sausage and Cabbage

Healthier_Me

Savoy cabbage is light green and has crinkly leaves. It has a milder flavor than green or red cabbage.

Ingredients
2 chicken sausages (about 5 ounces total)
1 small red onion
1 4-ounce wedge savoy cabbage
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 cup reduced-sodium
chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
1 12-ounce package fresh linguine

Directions
Bring a large covered pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low and simmer covered until ready to cook pasta. Meanwhile, cut sausage into ¼-inch-thick diagonal pieces, slice onion to make ½ cup, and shred cabbage to make 3 cups. In a small bowl, mix vinegar and cornstarch.

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add sausage, reduce heat to medium, and cook 1 minute. Turn sausage and cook another minute. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil, onion, and cabbage and sauté 1 minute. Add broth and ¼ cup cold water; bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in cornstarch mixture and pepper. Cook, stirring, until liquid is a little glossy, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

Return pasta water to a boil over high heat. Add linguine and cook uncovered according to package directions, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander. Add drained pasta to sausage and sauce in skillet and toss gently to combine. Divide among four plates and serve immediately.
