Cabbage and Noodles

Recipe View 10 mins Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rapid boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, usually around 5 minutes, until al dente. Drain well and return the noodles to the pot. Stir in the butter to prevent sticking. (Total time: ~10 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Render the Bacon: While the noodles are cooking, place the bacon lardons in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the flavorful bacon fat in the skillet. (Total time: ~10 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Sauté the Aromatics and Cabbage: Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat (or use olive oil if you want to reduce fat), and sauté over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the thinly sliced cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until it wilts and becomes tender-crisp, approximately 7-10 minutes. (Total time: ~10 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Combine and Finish: Chop the crispy bacon and return it to the skillet with the cabbage mixture. Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Season with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. (Total time: ~5 minutes)
