Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 1 bulb fresh garlic

Seasonings & Dairy

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan, shaved

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cabbage: Cut the head of green cabbage into long narrow strips about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside these cabbage ‘noodles’ for cooking.
  2. Mince the garlic: Peel the garlic bulb and mince the cloves finely to release their rich flavor for sautéing.
  3. Melt the butter: In a large skillet, melt the 1/4 cup of butter over medium-high heat until it is melted and bubbly, preparing it for cooking the garlic.
  4. Sauté the garlic and herbs: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté just until it begins to brown lightly, which brings out a deep fragrance. Stir in dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and red pepper flakes to infuse the butter with herbs and mild heat.
  5. Cook the cabbage noodles: Add the prepared cabbage strips to the skillet and gently toss to coat them with the flavored butter mixture. Cook until the cabbage starts to wilt and become tender, being careful not to overcook as it will release too much liquid. A good sign it is ready is when the cabbage just begins to release some juices.
  6. Serve and garnish: Transfer the cooked cabbage noodles to serving bowls or plates. Top generously with shaved Parmesan cheese for a creamy, salty finish. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Cut the cabbage into uniform strips to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcook the cabbage; it should be tender but not soggy to maintain a noodle-like texture.
  • You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of heat.
  • Use freshly shaved Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
  • This recipe serves as a great low-carb alternative to pasta dishes.
