Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onion, and sauté until the onion is translucent and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

- Season the cabbage with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss to combine them with the cabbage. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Cabbage Balushka hot, garnished with some freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
