Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 small head green cabbage
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cooking instructions

1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the noodles. (about 10 min)
2. While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 4 minutes. (about 4 min) — Medium heat
3. Add the cabbage and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and browned in spots, about 10 minutes. (about 10 min) — Medium heat
4. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Do not let the garlic brown deeply. (about 1 min) — Medium heat
5. Add the hot drained noodles, black pepper, and lemon juice to the skillet. Toss until evenly coated, adding reserved noodle water a tablespoon at a time if the mixture seems dry. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper before serving. (about 2 min) — Low heat
