Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (16 oz / 454 g) medium-wide egg noodles
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 2 small heads cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup (227 g / 8 oz) butter
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) and bring a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil.
- Noodle Cooking: Submerge egg noodles in boiling water, stirring periodically, and cook until tender yet slightly firm, approximately 5 minutes. Drain completely and set aside.
- Aromatic Foundation: In a spacious skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Introduce chopped onions and sauté until translucent and soft, releasing their delicate sweetness.
- Vegetable Transformation: Add shredded cabbage to the onion base, incorporating remaining butter. Gently sauté until cabbage becomes tender, avoiding browning. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and salt.
- Harmonious Blending: Fold cooked noodles into the cabbage mixture, ensuring each strand is lovingly coated with the savory elements. Taste and refine seasoning as needed.
- Final Baking: Transfer the combined mixture to a large baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the surface achieves a golden-brown, crispy crust.
Notes
- Timing is Crucial: Cook egg noodles exactly 5 minutes for perfect al dente texture, preventing mushiness.
- Slow Sauté Technique: Use medium-low heat when cooking onions and cabbage to develop rich, sweet caramelized flavors without burning.
- Butter Balance: Use fresh butter in stages for layered richness and to prevent ingredients from sticking to the pan.
- Oven Finishing Touch: Baking creates a delightful golden-brown crust, transforming the simple dish into a crispy, comforting casserole.
