Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, core the cabbage and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion into small pieces.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the cabbage, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until it softens and caramelizes slightly.
Season the cabbage and onion mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Stir to combine.
In the same pot used to boil the noodles (or a large mixing bowl), combine the cooked noodles with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir until the noodles are lightly coated.
Add the sautéed cabbage and onion mixture to the pot with the noodles. Toss everything together until well mixed and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
