Pasta is an astonishingly variable universe. Many fall/winter recipes are slow cooking, but there are times when one has to get the meal ready sooner, and Leonardo Romanelli's tortiglioni with sausages and cabbage recipe is quite tasty, and can be prepared in the time it takes the pasta water to come to a boil.
As an added bonus, Leonardo's recipe is a nice way to slip cabbage, which is one of the healthier winter vegetables, past people who might object to it in a salad or as a side dish.
