Cabbage and Noodles

01Method

1. 1

   Combine the water and butter in a large, deep skillet and bring to a boil. Add the bacon and return to a boil.

2. 2

   Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, then reduce the heat and simmer until the thickest cabbage pieces are fork-tender and most of the liquid has cooked off, about 20 minutes. Drain any remaining liquid.

3. 3

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the egg noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender with a slight bite, about 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

4. 4

   Gently toss the drained noodles together with the bacon and cabbage mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
