• Cabbage — Thinly slice the cabbage to ensure it cooks evenly and becomes tender without losing its crunch.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra touch of elegance, drizzle a bit of truffle oil over the finished dish.
• Experiment with different types of fresh pasta, such as spinach or beet-infused, to add vibrant colors to the plate.
• To make the dish more substantial, add some sautéed mushrooms or crispy pancetta as a topping.

Serving advice

Serve the Krpice sa zeljem in shallow bowls, allowing the vibrant colors of the cabbage and pasta to shine. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley for a pop of green.

Presentation advice

Create an artistic presentation by arranging the cabbage and pasta in a visually appealing manner on the plate. Consider using a ring mold to create a neat and elegant shape.
