Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Whole-grain egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cups Green cabbage, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.33 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole-grain egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to wilt and slightly caramelize.
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet and stir. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the liquid has reduced slightly.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine with the cabbage mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm everything through.
Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy version of cabbage and noodles!
