Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage (mild or hot)
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz egg noodles (medium width)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 tsp caraway seeds (optional, but recommended!)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill or parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set sausage aside.

  2. Step 2

    Add sliced cabbage and onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and wilt, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and caraway seeds (if using), and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir in the uncooked egg noodles, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, garnish with fresh dill or parsley before serving.

Tips

  • If you don't have egg noodles, use another quick-cooking pasta like rotini or penne. You might need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • For a little creaminess, stir in a spoonful of sour cream or cream cheese at the very end.
