Cabbage and Noodles flavored with little more than butter and a bit of pepper is going to impress you in its simplicity. This an old-fashioned dish that has become a regular comfort food in our household.
1small head of green cabbagecored and sliced into ½-inch ribbons, about 8 cups
½-1teaspoonkosher saltadjust to taste
½teaspoonfreshly ground black pepperadjust to taste
Instructions
Cook the noodles until tender but still slightly firm, about 6-7 minutes. Drain well and rinse in cold water until cool to stop the cooking process.
Melt ¼ cup butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, stir and cook until they begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cabbage to the pot with the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, allowing the cabbage pieces to brown a bit while the cabbage softens, about 8-10 minutes. Taste and season generously with salt and pepper.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet and allow to melt. Add the cooked noodles to the pot and toss well to coat with butter. Taste again and add salt, as needed.
Notes
The flavors here are simple but delicious. Take care to salt and pepper generously and taste as you go. If you do not use enough salt, this will become a bland dish that you may not love as much as you might if it's seasoned properly.
