    Made the second version to use up some cabbage. Needs salt and maybe I didn't put enough starchy water in it. Or maybe I should straight up add a sauce next time.

    I added scallions because the farmer gave us so many.

    made it with dried marjoram and parsley instead of sage. It was awesome.
