Ingredients

• 1 medium head cabbage
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, thinly sliced onion
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

While the noodles cook, prepare the cabbage by removing the outer leaves and cutting the cabbage in half. Remove the core and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and stir to combine with the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the cabbage begins to wilt and caramelize.

Step 6

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the cabbage mixture and continue to cook for 3-4 more minutes, allowing the sugar to melt and create a light caramelization.

Step 7

Season the cabbage mixture with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using), stirring well to combine.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Toss the noodles with the cabbage mixture until evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Sweet and Peppery Sauteed Cabbage and Noodles!
