Roasted Cabbage with Alfredo Sauce

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

We love this vegetarian main dish introduced to us by our favorite local farm family. It is so hearty and comforting! The Dr. Yum Project has worked with G. Flores Produce for many years. They have generously shared veggies for us to use for cooking classes, outreach events, and food photo days. When we had our teaching garden, they often gave us seedlings to get our season started.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Brush olive oil on all sides of the cabbage wedges and place on a parchment lined baking sheet
  3. Roast cabbage in the oven 4o-45 min, until cabbage is fork tender and a bit browned.
  4. Cover tray with foil, turn off the oven, and return the covered tray back inside the warm oven. Continue to steam the cabbage wedges while making the sauce.
  5. Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  6. Whisk 1 1/2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half into the butter until combined. Heat, whisking occasionally, until the cream simmers, 3 to 4 minutes
  7. Whisk in 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  8. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed
  9. Place roasted cabbage wedges in a rimmed serving dish, pour sauce over the wedges, top with additional grated parmesan and cracked black pepper.
  10. Any sauce left can be used with pasta for another meal.
