If you are looking for a meal that is budget friendly and deeply comforting, this cabbage and noodles recipe is perfect for you. It relies on just a few basic ingredients to create a savory, satisfying dish that feels like a warm hug on a busy weeknight.

Most people love this recipe because it is so easy to prepare. My best tip is to make sure you brown the cabbage well in the butter, as that extra color brings out a wonderful, slightly sweet flavor that makes the whole dish taste much better.

🧺 Ingredients

  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small head green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

👩‍🍳Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions.

  2. 2

    While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add the diced onion and sliced cabbage to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Drain the cooked noodles and add them directly into the skillet with the cabbage mixture.

  5. 5

    Season everything with salt, pepper, and paprika, then toss well to combine and serve warm.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can serve this as a main dish or as a side alongside some grilled sausage or pork chops.
