• 1 tbsp BlixSam Garlic Melt
• 2 tsp BlixSam Pasta a la Sam
• 250 ml fresh cream

4. Add the shredded cabbage and cook for 5–6 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.
5. Sprinkle over the BlixSam Garlic Melt and BlixSam Pasta a la Sam, allowing the spices to bloom in the butter for maximum flavour.
6. Pour in the fresh cream and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
7. Stir in half of the grated cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
8. Fold in the cooked pasta until well coated.
