For this recipe you need:

8 ounces egg noodles
2-12 ounce packages smoked sausage
24 ounces chicken broth
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup frozen peas
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 heaping tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

First, cook the noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside. I use plain old wide egg noodles but it doesn’t really matter for this recipe, you can use whatever kind you like.

Then saute the sausage with the onions til the sausage is nicely browned and the onions are translucent.

Then pour in the chicken broth, add the cabbage, crushed red pepper, garlic, salt and pepper and allow to simmer until cabbage is tender. I did not get a picture of this because, apparently, I was not paying attention.

Add the peas and cream cheese and continue to simmer until the cheese is almost melted.

Stir in the noodles and let simmer til heated through. Add more broth or less cream cheese if you prefer a thinner sauce. Enjoy!
