Instructions

  • Fry the sausage links in ½ tablespoon butter until crispy and golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Shed the cabbage into long thick strips, either by hand or with a food processor. Heat butter in a large skillet. Add cabbage and cook in 1½ tablespoon butter over medium heat for 10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until all soft. Season with salt and pepper halfway through the cooking time.
  • Prepare the sauce (if not using ready-made/store-bought) while the cabbage cooks. Simmer the garlic in butter in a small saucepan for 2 minutes until fragrant. Mix in cream. Slowly add the parmesan and stir continuously until it's a thick, uniform sauce. Season with nutmeg. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Slice the sausage into small ¼-inch rounds. Add it back to the pan with cooked cabbage. Pour the Alfredo sauce into the pan and toss until an even coat covers the cabbage and sausage.
  • Plate and serve warm directly from the skillet. Garnish with optional parsley.
