Instructions

Cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; sauté onions until soft and golden. Add garlic in the last minute of cooking.
Stir in shredded cabbage, season with salt, pepper, and optional sugar. Cook until tender but slightly crisp.
Add broth to keep cabbage moist and allow flavors to meld.
Toss in cooked noodles, gently combining with the cabbage mixture. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve warm, optionally topped with an extra pat of butter and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

Caramelizing onions adds a deeper, sweeter flavor.
Adjust butter and seasoning to taste for a richer or lighter version.
Letting the dish rest for a few minutes enhances the melding of flavors.
