Cabbage & Noodles: It tastes better than it sounds

One of my favorite, simple meals is cabbage and noodles. I discovered it in a cookbook. It's very simple to make, and it's also healthy, as long as you don't drown everything in butter.

I use egg noodles and savoy cabbage. Regular cabbage is fine as well, but I read somewhere that savoy cabbage has a slight buttery taste. And butter is always a tasty thing :)

The ingredients are cabbage (chopped), egg noodles, butter, salt, and pepper. That's it.

To make, chop the cabbage - an amount that you will reasonably eat, keeping in mind that it will cook down a little. Wash the cabbage, of course, but note the volume. The uncooked cabbage should be the same volume as the uncooked noodles.

Melt the butter in a frying pan. When the butter starts bubbling slightly, add the cabbage and saute. Salt and pepper to your taste. Cook the cabbage until it becomes tender and the edges start to brown.

In the meantime, cook the noodles. When they are cooked, and the cabbage has started to brown, add the noodles to the frying pan. You may need to add more butter, salt, and pepper. Stir the noodles and cabbage together until well mixed and the cabbage is to your preferred doneness. (I like my cabbage somewhat brown and carmelized.)

That's it - you're done and ready to eat.
