Cabbage & Meat Over Noodles

Prep Time:  5 Minutes

     Cook Time:  15 Minutes

     Serves:  6

In this simple, one-dish, weeknight dinner, the meat and garlic are savory, while the cabbage adds a touch of sweetness and a hefty dose of vitamins A and C. For a vegetarian version, simply leave out the ground meat. The garlic, cabbage and noodles are delicious on their own.

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 pound ground meat, (I like to use ground pork from Willow Creek Farm)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ head green savoy cabbage, cored and thinly sliced or shredded
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Cook noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and toss with butter.
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground meat over medium heat until it begins to brown. If you are using a lean meat, you may need to begin with a little vegetable oil. Break up meat as it cooks.
  3. Add garlic and cabbage. Stir for 3-4 minutes until cabbage begins to lightly brown. Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of freshly ground pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until cabbage is soft, about five additional minutes. Drain the drippings if desired.
  4. Serve cabbage and meat mixture over noodles. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
