Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 medium green cabbage thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
Alfredo Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 0.125 tsp nutmeg optional
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Chef Knife

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced cabbage and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp and lightly caramelized.
  3. Lower the heat to medium. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and nutmeg until the sauce thickens and coats the cabbage evenly.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cook the cabbage over high heat to avoid excess moisture. Add chicken, shrimp, or bacon for extra protein.
