Went to Whole Foods the other day. I found this amazing head of Savoy cabbage. I had no plan to buy cabbage at all, but this head somehow spoke to me and I had to take it home. So what do you do with a head of Savoy cabbage? Just look at it? No, not this one. So what I did was that I made it into a wonderful pasta dish with shallots, garlic, mushrooms and stock. It turned out really well. Enjoy!
