Noodles with Cabbage

 Ingredients: a small sweet or sour cabbage small or square noodles salt pepper a good tablespoon of lard a little butter

To prepare this delicious cabbage dish with pasta, the first step is to take care of the cabbage. Wash the cabbage well under a stream of cold water, making sure to remove any dirt. After washing the cabbage, slice it thinly and evenly. This texture will allow the cabbage to cook evenly and soften perfectly. In a deep pot, try to melt some lard over medium heat. When the lard is hot, add the sliced cabbage and start sautéing it. Stir occasionally to achieve an even color and a delicious caramelized flavor.

Meanwhile, prepare the pasta. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a tablespoon of salt, which will season the pasta. When the water starts to boil, add the pasta and let it cook according to the package instructions, usually between 8 and 12 minutes, depending on the type of pasta. Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it well, making sure not to rinse it under cold water, as this could remove the starch needed to bind the dish. Put the pasta back in the pot where it boiled and add a bit of butter. Mix well to coat the pasta evenly with butter, which will give it a richer taste.

Now that we have the sautéed cabbage and the pasta ready, it's time to assemble the dish. Take a baking dish that can go in the oven, preferably ceramic or heat-resistant glass. Start by placing an even layer of sautéed cabbage at the bottom of the dish. The next step is to add a layer of pasta, which will bring a creamy texture and savory flavor. Repeat this process: a layer of cabbage, a layer of pasta, continuing until the ingredients are used up. Make sure the last layer is cabbage, to achieve a delicious crust on top.

On top of the last layer of cabbage, add a few pieces of butter, which will melt and add a wonderful flavor. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature, around 180-200 degrees Celsius, and place the dish in the oven. Let it bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the cabbage turns a nice brown color and a delicious crust forms on top. Enjoy the dish warm, alongside a fresh salad or a slice of steaming bread, for a comforting and flavorful meal. This simple and tasty recipe will bring a touch of tradition to every meal.
