Cabbage Ribbons with Sausage and Thyme Marinara Sauce recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

My husband was home for lunch the other day; so I decided to try a very simple cabbage and sausage combination that I had been thinking about for a while. I still had cabbage left from the soup last week and this was the perfect use for the rest of it.

This meal turned out so well; my kids even gave it a thumbs up, cabbage and all. My oldest son has already requested it again too!

Cabbage Ribbons with Sausage and Thyme Marinara Sauce

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 lb hot Italian sausage
  • 1/2 head of cabbage sliced into thin ribbons
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or ½ tablespoon of fresh thyme
  • 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes no additional seasonings added

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the sausage. Add the cabbage to the skillet, toss to combine and splash just a bit of water onto it, maybe 1-2 tablespoons. Cover with lid and let cook over medium high heat for about 5 minutes, until it is just barely wilted.
  • While the sausage and cabbage are cooking, start the sauce. This recipe will make TWICE the amount of sauce you will need. Save the extra sauce to use later. In a cold saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, salt, pepper flakes and thyme. Turn on the heat to medium and saute just until fragrant. This should take less than a minute. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • When the cabbage is warm and barely softened, top individual servings with the marinara sauce and toss to combine. Enjoy!

    This looks so good. I'm gonna give it a go as I too have extra cabbage this week. But let's tell the truth, you just wanted another reason to enjoy that marinara 🙂 Have a great day Mary!
