Servings: 6
Calories: 644kcal
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles About 340 grams or 1 standard package. You can also use homemade.
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¾ cup bacon Diced small
- 1 cup kielbasa sausage Optional. Sliced thinly into rounds and then cut in half like half-moons.
- 2 large yellow onions Diced small.
- 2 cloves garlic Optional. Minced.
- ½ head cabbage Slived very thinly.
- salt & pepper to taste.
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: thinly slice the cabbage, dice the onion and bacon into small pieces, thinly slice the kielbasa (if using) into half-moons, mince the garlic (if using) and get a large pot of salted water boiling for the egg noodles.
- Cook pasta: As the other ingredients are being cooked in the following steps, cook your pasta according to package instructions. If it finishes too early‚ no worries — drain it, run it under cool water to prevent overcooking and add some butter to stop from sticking.
- Caramelize: begin by caramelizing your onions in half of the butter on medium heat, add the bacon after the onions turn translucent after about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and let the onions become golden-brown in color (15 minutes or longer if you prefer a deep caramel color) and the bacon is nearly entirely crisped and cooked.
- Add sausage: if using sausage, like kielbasa, add it now and cook until it begins to brown around the edges.
- Add the cabbage and continue cooking and stirring until the cabbage is tender and starting to brown around the edges. You can cover the pot or pan to prevent too much evaporation and burning, but remove it and let any excess liquid cook off before adding the noodles.
- If you're using garlic, add it right before the cooked noodles and stir for 60 seconds until it becomes fragrant.
- Add the egg noodles and cook, stirring until the noodles are just slightly crispy at the edges.
- Season with salt to taste, if needed, and plently of freshly cracked black pepper if you like.
