- 6 slices bacon thick cut, and chopped
- 6 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 2 large onions chopped
- 1½ pounds green cabbage cored and cut into bite size pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 1 pound egg noodles medium-wide
In a large Dutch oven cook the bacon until almost crisp.
To the same Dutch oven add 3 tablespoons of the butter and melt. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the cabbage, salt and pepper, stir everything together and cook for 10 minutes covered, until the cabbage softens.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add the cooked noodles to the Dutch oven, remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and stir. Cook for a couple more minutes, until everything is heated through.
Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as necessary. Serve warm with lots of freshly ground black pepper.
- Bacon Substitute: If you're vegetarian, consider using a smoky meat substitute instead of bacon.
- Noodle Choices: While egg noodles are traditional, you can also use other pasta like fettuccine or tagliatelle.
- Cooking the Cabbage: The cabbage should be cooked until tender but not mushy, preserving a slight crunch.
- Serving Suggestions: Best served warm with freshly ground black pepper. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
