Cabbage and Noodles with Ham
This Eastern European-inspired dish with ham, cabbage, and noodles is a great way to use up leftover ingredients.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1 2 pound cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
- 1 16 ounce package potato gnocchi
- 2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot butter until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage; cook and stir until cabbage has softened, about 20 minutes.
- While cabbage is cooking, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Cook gnocchi in boiling water until they float to the top, about 3 minutes; drain.
- Stir cooked gnocchi and ham into cabbage mixture and cook until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper.
Notes
You can cut down on the butter a bit by adding or substituting some olive oil or chicken broth. But I wouldn't cut out too much!
