Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 head Cabbage Fresh provides the best texture; however, pre-shredded coleslaw mix can save time.
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Adds a rich flavor; try olive oil for a lighter alternative.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Essential for that silky sauce; half-and-half can be a healthier substitute.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh cloves deliver robust flavor, but garlic powder works in a pinch.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg A dash elevates the dish; omit if you don’t have it on hand.
For the Finishing Touch
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Grate your own for optimal creaminess; pre-shredded can dull flavors.
  • 1/4 cup Parsley Use fresh parsley for a colorful and tasty garnish.

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Garlic Alfredo
  1. Begin by removing the outer leaves of a fresh head of cabbage. Slice it thinly, ensuring even pieces for quick cooking and a lovely texture in your Creamy Garlic Alfredo. Aim for about ¼-inch thickness.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté gently for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
  3. Slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, continually stirring to combine it with the garlic and butter mixture, heating through for about 5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the prepared cabbage into the sauce, stirring well to coat and cooking for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of nutmeg until melted and blended.
  6. Carefully plate your Creamy Garlic Alfredo with Tender Cabbage, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
