Cabbage Noodles
Ingredients:
-1 head cabbage
–Your favorite pasta sauce or toppings. (Such as meat sauce, marinara sauce, homemade cream sauce or even just butter and salt)
Directions:
- Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the cabbage – this is important. Now, cut the cabbage in half.
- Place the cabbage half cut-side-down and start slicing lengthwise to create thinnish strips of cabbage.
- When you reach the core, start cutting on the other side. Now flip the core over and cut the cabbage that is left on the core off. And then cut this piece of cabbage into lengthwise strips. Always go against the grain and around the core.
- Repeat with the other half.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a big pinch of sea salt. Add the sliced cabbage and boil for 4-5 minutes, until tender but not mushy.
- Drain and top with your favorite sauce!
