Ingredients

  • 4 ounces whole wheat fettuccini
  • 2 Tablespoon butter see note
  • 1-2 large garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 large kohlrabi peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup grated gouda
  • salt pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, about 10 minutes.
  2. While pasta is cooking, sautee minced garlic in butter for a couple minutes. Do not let brown. Add grated kohlrabi and simmer while pasta finishes.
  3. When pasta is cooked, drain it, then toss with kohlrabi mixture, stirring to break up clumps (the kohlrabi even clumps like grated cheese).
  4. Add cheese and stir again to distribute well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
  • You can use olive oil instead of butter if you prefer.
  • Another flavorful, good melting cheese may be substituted for the gouda (I used asiago the last time).
