2	When garlic is golden brown, remove it, but continue to cook butter until light amber with a distinctly nutty aroma.
3	Scoop foam off top as it rises so that you can see the color, then pour it through strainer lined with layer of cheesecloth.
4	Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts water to boil.
5	Add 1 tablespoon salt and potatoes.
6	Cook 5 to 8 minutes or until potatoes are fairly tender, but just short of being done.
7	Rinse them immediately with cool water and set them in colander to drain, but reserve cooking water for pasta.
8	Chop or crumble remaining sage leaves.
9	Heat half the brown butter in wide saute pan, add leeks, sage, half the minced garlic and red pepper flakes.
10	Cook over medium-low heat until leeks are soft.
11	Add cabbage, 1 teaspoon salt and a little water.

13	Cover pan and simmer until cabbage is cooked.
14	Add parmesan cheese and season with plenty of freshly ground black pepper and salt, if needed, to make flavors bright and strong.
15	Return reserved cooking water to boil, add pasta and partially cook it, leaving it a little chewier than you would want to eat.
16	Drain in colander, return it to empty pan and toss with rest of butter, remaining minced garlic and potatoes.
17	Season to taste with salt and pepper.
18	Butter casserole and layer half the noodles, half the cabbage and most of sliced cheese.
