Ingredients

1 box bow ties cooked
8 tbsp butter divided in 2
16 cloves garlic minced
8 oz onion thinly sliced
16 oz mushrooms sliced
16 oz coleslaw mix
1½ tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
1½ tsp crushed red pepper
8 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prepare 1 box of Farfalle pasta (bow ties) according to packaged directions. Make sure to cook al dente or your pasta will end up being mushy in the end.
In a skillet large enough for all the ingredients (including the pasta), melt half the butter on medium high heat. Add garlic and onions, cooking for 3-4 minutes, just until onions start to soften. Add mushrooms and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add coleslaw mix, butter, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper and cook for 6 minutes. The cabbage will still have a little crunch to it for the final product.
Mix in pasta and heat through, about 1 minute. Serve with a tbsp of grated cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

It is important to divide the butter when cooking this dish because the mushrooms will soak up any additional liquid when they begin to cook. This means by the time you add the cabbage there will be no additional butter for it to saute in. By dividing it you are ensuring your cabbage cooks properly and gains that delicious butter flavor!

This dish is also amazing if you add some chicken to it. Just add thinly sliced chicken with the onions and garlic.

Why coleslaw mix? We love it because it gives you both green and purple cabbage with a hint of carrot, giving you a mixture of colors in the final dish. Feel free to use regular green cabbage and slice thin if wanted. This will still give you a delicious end result.
