→ Main Ingredients
01 -
6 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into 1-inch bits)
02 -
1 head cabbage (about 2 pounds), core discarded and chopped into 1½-inch pieces
03 -
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
04 -
8 ounces of wide, flat no-yolk noodles, uncooked
05 -
1 teaspoon spicy brown or Dijon mustard, use only if you'd like
06 -
6 tablespoons salted butter, divided up
07 -
1 big yellow onion (roughly 2 cups), diced
08 -
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
09 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Get a big pot of salty water boiling. Toss in the noodles and cook till they're just slightly firm. Make sure they're well drained, then set aside.
02 -
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick deep pan on medium-high heat. Cook the kielbasa for about 3 minutes until it's browned nicely and crispy. Scoop it out with a slotted spoon and set it to the side.
03 -
Using the same pan, add leftover sausage fat along with onions, cabbage, garlic, and 2 more tablespoons of butter. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring, until the cabbage softens, which takes around 8 minutes.
04 -
Stir your cooked noodles and sausage pieces back into the cabbage mix. Toss until everything is well mixed and warmed up.
05 -
Stir in the last 2 tablespoons of butter, along with mustard if you'd like, salt, and pepper. Serve it up right away.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep the noodles firm so they won't fall apart

Skip the kielbasa for a vegetarian version
