Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz smoked sausage or andouille, sliced into coins
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups cabbage, sliced into thin ribbons (about 1 small head)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1–2 tsp Cajun seasoning (start with 1 tsp, add more to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional but delicious)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (plus more for serving)
  • Salt, to taste (Cajun seasoning and sausage can be salty)
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley, for topping

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Lower heat to medium. Add butter and garlic; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add cabbage and sauté 5–7 minutes until softened but not mushy.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Pour in heavy cream and whisk in cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Stir in Parmesan, Cajun seasoning, paprika (if using), and black pepper. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
  6. Return sausage to the skillet and toss everything together. Simmer 2 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Top with parsley and extra black pepper.

Notes

  • Adjust Cajun seasoning for more or less heat.
  • Use andouille sausage for extra spice.
  • Add a splash of cream if the sauce is too thick.
