Ingredients

For the cabbage:

• 1 large green cabbage, thinly sliced into ribbons
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

For the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (preferably no added sugar)
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the cabbage: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice cabbage into thin noodle-like ribbons. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Roast: Spread cabbage on a large baking sheet in an even layer. Roast for 15–20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender with lightly golden edges.
3. Make the sauce: While cabbage roasts, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add tomatoes: Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1–2 minutes.
5. Make it creamy: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes.
6. Add Parmesan: Stir in grated Parmesan until melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
7. Combine: Add roasted cabbage ribbons to the skillet. Toss gently until completely coated in the sauce.
8. Finish: Add fresh basil and optional cooked chicken. Taste and adjust seasoning.
9. Serve: Garnish with extra Parmesan, fresh basil, and black pepper. Serve warm!
