Bacon-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Caraway’d Cabbage and Apples

Name: Tomato Pasta with Eggplant and Sausage (on the side)
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more; 1 pound sausage of your choosing; 1 pound eggplant, fennel or zucchini, chopped; 1 red or yellow onion, sliced (not too thin); Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper; 1 24-ounce jar tomato sauce, puree, or can of crushed tomatoes; Fresh or dried oregano, optional; Crushed red pepper flakes, optional; 2 cloves garlic, very, very well crushed or finely chopped; 1 pound dried pasta such as casarecce or rigatoni; Basil, if you have it; Pecorino or Parmesan cheese, for grating

While wildly versatile, and I shouldn’t pick favorites, cabbage when roasted in lots of garlicky pork fat until lightly charred around the edges might be my favorite way to eat it. Don’t tell kimchi.
