Pasta with Cabbage and Kielbasa

 

1 pound Kielbasa sausage

8 ounces egg noodles

4 T. butter

1/2 head cabbage thinly sliced

1 medium onion thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic minced

3 T. red wine vinegar

3 T. vegetable oil divided

1 tsp. Kosher salt

3/4 tsp. black pepper freshly ground

 

Cook egg noodles in salted water according to the directions on the package. Drain, rinse and return to pan and stir in slices of butter. Set aside. Cut Kielbasa in half lengthwise then thinly slice. Use a large, deep skillet over medium high heat to heat 1 1/2 T.. Carefully add Kielbasa and stir occasionally until lightly browned. This will take about 5 minutes. Then set aside on a separate plate. Add remaining oil to the skillet and turn down to medium heat. Add onions and cook until slightly tender. Add minced garlic, cabbage and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper then stir together and place lid on the skillet. Stir every 5 minutes until cabbage is tender. This will take about 10 – 14 minutes depending how full the skillet is and how thinly sliced the ingredients are. Once the vegetables are tender stir buttered noodles and Kielbasa sausage into the skillet. Once everything is warmed through serve immediately.
