Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy), casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 a small head)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional, but recommended!)
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 8 oz egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set sausage aside.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and caraway seeds (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Add the shredded cabbage and chicken broth to the skillet. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the cabbage. Add the cooked and drained egg noodles. Toss everything together until heated through and well combined.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips

  • For a low-carb option, skip the noodles and serve this over cauliflower rice or enjoy as a hearty skillet meal.
  • A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens up the flavors.
  • If you only have pre-cooked sausage, add it later with the cabbage to prevent overcooking.
