This Garlic Butter Cabbage Noodles recipe is a flavorful and healthy alternative to traditional pasta. Tender strips of green cabbage are sautéed in rich garlic butter with aromatic herbs and red pepper flakes, then topped with shaved Parmesan for a deliciously satisfying dish perfect as a low-carb side or light main.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 1 bulb fresh garlic

Dairy

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan, shaved

Spices & Herbs

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cabbage: Cut the head of green cabbage into long, narrow strips about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
  2. Mince the garlic: Peel the bulb of fresh garlic and finely mince it to release its aroma.
  3. Melt the butter: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1/4 cup of butter until it becomes bubbly.
  4. Sauté the garlic and seasonings: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté just until it starts to brown, being careful not to burn it. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and red pepper flakes thoroughly to distribute the flavors.
  5. Cook the cabbage ‘noodles’: Add the prepared cabbage strips to the skillet and gently toss to coat them evenly in the garlic butter mixture. Cook the cabbage just until it wilts and becomes tender but still retains some firmness. Watch for the cabbage starting to release some juice, which signals it is done perfectly without becoming soggy.
  6. Serve: Transfer the garlic butter cabbage noodles to a serving bowl or individual plates and top generously with shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the cabbage to avoid excess moisture and sogginess.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit if you prefer mild flavors.
  • This dish works well as a low-carb alternative to traditional pasta meals.
