Step 1

In a bowl combine the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt, eggs and 2 tablespoons water until a stiff dough forms. Transfer dough to a board and knead until smooth (about 5-10 minutes). Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.

Step 2

Unwrap the dough and place on a lightly floured board. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough until 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 2 x 1 inch squares, transfer to a flour dusted baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3

In a large skillet melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the sugar and cook stirring until the sugar dissolves (just a few minutes). Add the bacon and onion and cook stirring until the bacon renders its fat and the onion is lightly caramelized (10-15 minutes). Add the cabbage, cumin and cayenne and cook, stirring until the cabbage softens slightly (5 minutes).

Step 4

Meanwhile in a large saucepan of boiling salted water add the pasta and cook, stirring until al dente (5 minutes). Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water, and add to the cabbage along with the reserved cooking water.
