Note

While the ingredient list only specifies butter, you will need noodles (such as spaghetti, linguine, or egg noodles) and a head of green or savoy cabbage, sliced thinly, to complete this dish.

For added flavor, consider sautéing garlic or onions with the butter before adding the cabbage.

If you prefer a lighter version, you can use olive oil instead of butter, though the flavor profile will be less rich.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or milk to restore creaminess.

Ensure your cabbage is cut into uniform strips so it cooks evenly alongside the noodles.
