One of my favorite dishes that my dear departed granny used to make. Cabbage and Noodles.
1 package egg noodles
1 head of green cabbage
1 stick of butter
Dill, caraway, and salt (lots of salt) to taste.
Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Saute cabbage in butter until soft. Combine and season. Insanely good.
*EDITED TO ADD* …my grandmother used to add onions (I hate onions) and kielbasa (but I’m a vegetarian, LoL)
