Ingredients

2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups fideo or short-cut angel hair pasta in small lengths
1 tablespoon olive oil extra-virgin
8 oz. bacon chopped into 1-by-½-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves finely minced
1 yellow onion halved and sliced ¼ inch thick
3 cups green cabbage sliced (¼ inch thick), heaped tightly packed
½ cup water to assist the wilting of the cabbage
1 tablespoon. unsalted butter
½ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated Parmesan, plus extra to serve
1½ teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper or ½ tsp. finely ground
¾ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Bring 12 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the 2 teaspoons kosher salt and pasta. Cook according to the package directions, usually 2–3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook for about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is golden and the onion is translucent.
Add the sliced cabbage, butter, and ½ cup water. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted.
Add the cooked pasta, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and remaining ¾ teaspoon kosher salt. Toss everything together and cook for about 1 minute.
Add the fresh lemon juice and toss to coat.
Divide among serving bowls and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
