Noodles and Cabbage

Don't run away. It's better than you think. Noodles and Cabbage has become a staple in my house. I even serve it for Shabbos; like I did this past Friday. It is simple to make and even the kids love it; especially with a dollop of sour cream on the top. Better yet, we prefer it with whole wheat pasta rather than white.

What you'll need:
1lb bag wide egg noodles - whole wheat

1/2 cup butter

2 medium or large onions, sliced

2 teaspoons brown sugar (I've used splenda brown sugar with good results)

1 head cabbage, sliced

1 teaspoon caraway seeds or to taste (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat.

Add the onions and cook until they start to soften.

Sprinkle with brown sugar.

Add the cabbage and toss well.

Cook for about 5 minutes to wilt.

Add the caraway seeds if using and cook an additional 5 or 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions. If you are going to let it sit than toss it with a little oil or butter to keep it from sticking together.

When the pasta is done toss with the cabbage.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve sour cream.

I had to use some white pasta because I didn't have enough whole wheat.

Shabbat Shalom!
