Cabbage and Noodles

Cabbage and Noodles

This sounds really good. I will be trying this for sure, either with smoked sausage or with homemade Italian sausage from a shortcut on this site. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 350 grams smoked sausage, or a bit more, no one will complain, OR Italian sausage
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1/2 head cabbage, chopped, about 6-7 cups
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
  • 2/3 cup frozen peas
  • 250 grams dry egg noodles, OR Fettuccine pasta (my preference)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • olive oil, as needed

Instructions
 

  • Heat a pot of water to boiling and then cook the egg noodles or pasta until just done, drain and then set aside. A small amount of olive oil drizzled on the noodles will keep them from sticking.
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat a splash of olive oil and cook the smoked sausage until lightly browned, if cooking home made sausage, cook until cooked through.
  • Is using smoked sausage, you may need to add another splash of olive oil then add the butter, onion, and garlic, cooking until the onion is soft. OR if using home made sausage, you may need to drain off some of the fat but leave a little in the pan then just add the butter, onion, and garlic and cook that until the onion is soft. About 5 minutes or so, stirring once in a while.
  • Add the cabbage and cook until tender, stirring often, maybe 15 minutes or so then add in the peas, noodles or pasta and salt and pepper to your liking. Cook this until heated through, just a few minutes then serve.

Notes

Smoked sausage will run about 100 Baht for 350 grams, home made Italian sausage, or regular sausage, or chicken sausage (think small meat balls) is much less. For smoked sausage, 4 servings, this is about 74 cents per serving. For home made sausage, this is about 40 Baht/350 grams, 4 servings would be about 30 cents per serving.
Shortcut: Italian Sausage, Sausage, Chicken Sausage.
Variants: Think cooked chopped chicken in place of the sausage.
