Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 1 small head green cabbage
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp paprika (optional for garnish)
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the wide egg noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the cabbage and onion. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly slice it into shreds. Peel and finely chop the large yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and slightly caramelizes, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Once the cabbage has cooked down, reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly in the buttery cabbage mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. For an extra pop of color and flavor, sprinkle the dish with paprika and fresh chopped parsley (optional).
Serve the cabbage and noodles warm as a main dish or a hearty side dish. Enjoy!
