Comfort Food Cabbage & Noodles

 

This really isn't a recipe, it's a lovely, flexible combination. I am always looking for ways to eat more vegetables, and cabbage is great cooked. This was done in less than 10 minutes.

Butter and/or olive oil for sautéing
1 large sliced onion
8 oz or so of cooked flat noodles (egg are good)
1/2 head small cabbage sliced thin, or a bag of shredded

Nutmeg, salt, pepper

Shredded parmesan cheese

Cook the pasta. Then slice the onions and melt butter in a big skillet. Start sautéing on medium in a big pan. Stir frequently, while chopping the cabbage into slivers, and add to the pan. Cook and stir, for about 7-8 minutes until the onions start to brown and the cabbage releases its liquid. 

Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Drain the noodles and add them, still a little wet is fine. 

Serve with parmesan cheese. A little chopped parsley would improve the looks! 

It's called halushki, and is a Central and Eastern European staple. Recipes call for a lot more butter than I used. You could add cottage cheese or other protein, too.
