Hearty Sausage Cabbage Noodles

If you're looking for a hearty, wholesome meal that won't break the bank and tastes absolutely incredible, look no further! This Hearty Sausage Cabbage Noodles skillet brings together savory sausage and tender cabbage with satisfying egg noodles, all in one easy pan.

Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage (mild or hot)
  • 1 small head green cabbage, cored and shredded
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional, but recommended)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    While noodles cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and remove sausage from the skillet, setting it aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add diced onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Add shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8-10 minutes. It will seem like a lot at first, but it will cook down.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and caraway seeds (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Return the cooked sausage and drained egg noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Step 7

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

Tips

  • If you don't have egg noodles, you can use any short pasta like rotini or penne.
  • A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt can add a lovely tang when serving.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, making it a great meal prep option.
