Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 1 large yellow onion
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
While the noodles cook, prepare the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves and core from the cabbage, then slice it into thin strips. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Stir in the sliced cabbage, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and lightly caramelized. Reduce the heat if needed to avoid burning.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet, along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir everything together to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and, if desired, paprika for a hint of smokiness.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
