A delightful twist on the classic cabbage and noodles dish, featuring enhanced flavors and textures.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using a mix of butter and olive oil prevents the butter from burning while adding flavor.
Add the onions to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Add the cabbage to the skillet and cook until softened, about 10-12 minutes.
Cover the skillet with a lid to speed up the cooking process.
Stir in the peas and cooked pasta, seasoning generously with black pepper and salt. Mix well.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the mixture seems dry.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
