Cabbage Alfredo serving bowl with grilled chicken and Parmesan

Tender cabbage ribbons cook in a creamy garlic-Parmesan Alfredo sauce for a cozy, lower-carb skillet dinner. This easy Cabbage Alfredo works as a main dish or a rich vegetable side.

Ingredients

Scale

1 medium green cabbage, cored and sliced into 1/2-inch ribbons

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small yellow onion or large shallot, thinly sliced

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup whole milk

2 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Optional: cooked chicken, shrimp, smoked sausage, or mushrooms

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil.

2. Add cabbage and onion. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage softens and most moisture leaves the pan.

3. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir for 30 seconds.

4. Pour in heavy cream and milk. Add cream cheese and whisk gently until smooth.

5. Lower the heat. Add Parmesan in small handfuls and stir until the sauce turns creamy.

6. Add nutmeg and lemon juice. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

7. Top with parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve warm as a main dish or side.

Notes

Use a wide skillet so the cabbage cooks quickly and does not steam too much.

Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-shredded cheese.

For a thicker sauce, simmer for 1 to 2 extra minutes.

For leftovers, reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
