Cabbage and Smoked Sausage Pasta

1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta

½ cup butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup olive oil

1 large head green cabbage, shredded

salt and pepper to taste

1 pound smoked sausage, sliced

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, olive oil, and cabbage; season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sausage and bow tie pasta; cook until completely heated, about 5 minutes more. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
