Description
A delicious and creamy cabbage dish that mimics fettuccine, perfect as a side or main dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds green cabbage
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preparing your cabbage so it mimics the shape of fettuccine noodles. Remove any damaged outer leaves and cut the head of cabbage into four large quarters. Slice out the tough core from the center of each piece.
- Lay the quarters flat on your cutting board and slice them into long, thin strips about half an inch wide.
- Put all your cabbage ribbons into a large colander and rinse them under cold water. It is very important to dry the cabbage thoroughly after washing.
- Place a large skillet or a deep sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until it starts to bubble slightly. Add your minced garlic to the butter and stir it constantly for about one minute.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the pan with the garlic butter. Use a pair of tongs to toss the cabbage so every strand is coated in the fat. Turn the heat up slightly and cook the cabbage for about eight to ten minutes.
- Once the cabbage has reached your desired tenderness, pour the heavy cream directly into the skillet. Stir it into the cabbage and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Let the cream cook with the cabbage for about three or four minutes.
- Turn the heat down to low and sprinkle in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. It is best to add the cheese in small handfuls, stirring after each addition until it is completely melted.
- Now it is time to add your salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Taste the sauce before you add too much salt, as the cheese itself is already quite salty.
- Turn off the heat and let the pan sit for a minute.
Notes
- Adjust the seasoning to taste after adding the cheese.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
