Noodles with Cabbage and Pepper

 Ingredients: A bag of square noodles, a raw cabbage, salt, pepper, 3 tablespoons of oil.

We start with the necessary ingredients to prepare this delicious dish, which is both comforting and easy to make. We will need 250 grams of noodles, a medium cabbage, 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil, salt and pepper to taste. We can also use additional spices, such as sweet or hot paprika, to add extra flavor.

The first step is to boil the noodles. In a large pot, we add water and a good tablespoon of salt, then let it boil. When the water starts to boil, we add the noodles and let them cook according to the instructions on the package, usually between 8 and 12 minutes, depending on the type of noodles we are using. In the meantime, we take care of the cabbage.

We wash the cabbage, remove the outer leaves, and chop it finely using a food processor. This step will help us obtain uniform pieces that will cook evenly. After chopping the cabbage, we heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. We add the chopped cabbage and sauté it, stirring constantly so that it does not burn. The salt added from the beginning will help release the juices from the cabbage, making it softer.

After about 10-15 minutes, the cabbage should be tender and lightly sautéed, having a pleasant golden color. Once the cabbage is ready, we pour it over the drained noodles, making sure everything is well mixed and that the noodles are evenly coated. To give a richer and more aromatic taste, we add freshly ground pepper and, if necessary, adjust the salt.

For an extra flavor boost, we can also add a teaspoon of paprika or even a few fresh thyme leaves, which will bring a special aroma to the dish. We mix everything well, allowing the ingredients to combine for a few minutes over low heat, to let the flavors blend.

We serve the dish hot, ideal for a comforting dinner or a quick lunch. This simple and tasty recipe is not only nutritious but also an excellent way to consume vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
