Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 6 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large white onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the cabbage. Trim off any tough outer leaves, then halve the cabbage and remove the core. Slice the cabbage thinly into shreds.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the thinly sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to soften and turn translucent.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onions. Sauté the cabbage and onions together, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and caramelized. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter if the mixture appears dry.

Step 6

Mince or finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Season the cabbage mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika, stirring to evenly coat.

Step 8

Add the cooked and drained egg noodles to the skillet. Toss well to combine the noodles with the cabbage mixture.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy this hearty and comforting dish!
