Cook Time: About 1 hour

1 Each sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 Each medium head of cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
1 12oz package egg noodles
1 Lb bacon, cut in 1 inch pieces
1 Stick butter(can use olive oil to reduce fat content)
3 TBSP minced garlic
   Salt to taste
   Pepper to taste
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
   Sour cream(optional)

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles.

In a large fry pan add 1 TBSP butter and fry chopped bacon until crisp. About 12-14 minutes. Remove to paper towel to drain, set aside. Reserve 1 TBSP bacon fat, dump the rest and wipe out inside of fry pan.

While the cabbage is cooking add the pasta to boiling water and cook, following the directions on the package.

Increase the heat of fry pan to high and stir until the onions and cabbage are a golden brown. About 10-12 minutes. Add minced garlic and 2 TBSP butter, stirring constantly to make sure everything is evenly coated in butter. Add in 3/4 of diced cooked bacon, combine and remove from heat.

Drain the cooked pasta, add to fry pan with remaining 3 TBSP butter, stirring well to make sure all ingredients are well combined. Stir in remaining bacon, taste add more salt and pepper if desired.
