Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 head green cabbage
• 1 large yellow onion
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it into quarters, remove the core, and slice it into thin strips. Peel the onion and slice it thinly.

Step 3

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and turn translucent.

Step 5

Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of salt over the cabbage and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft and caramelized. Adjust the heat to medium-low if needed to prevent burning.

Step 6

Once the cabbage is cooked, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and stir until melted.

Step 7

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet with the cabbage and onions. Toss everything together until well combined.

Step 8

Season the mixture with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of freshness before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a main dish or a hearty side. Enjoy!
