Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, deep skillet, combine water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the chopped bacon and return to a boil, allowing the bacon to render its fat and begin to crisp. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the cored and chopped cabbage. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the cabbage is fork-tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning. (20 minutes)

04

Step

Once the cabbage is cooked, drain any remaining liquid from the skillet. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Add the egg noodles and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly firm to the bite (al dente). (5 minutes)

07

Step

Drain the noodles well, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Return the bacon and cabbage mixture to the skillet. Add the drained egg noodles. Toss gently to combine, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to moisten. (3 minutes)

09

Step

Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

For an even richer flavor, try using smoked bacon.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as onions or garlic, along with the cabbage.
A sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill adds a bright, herbaceous note to the finished dish.
Use wide egg noodles for a more substantial bite.
Don't overcook the cabbage; it should be tender but still have some texture.
