This is a wonderful dish that can be made with a variety of proteins with the cabbage alfredo as the base. Here it is shown with chicken spinach and feta sausage (Costco Kirkland, Chicken Sausage with Spinach & Feta). I have also used spicy sausage such as Conecuh® Cajun Smoked Sausage.
Sausage with Cabbage Alfredo
Ingredients
- 1 package of sausage, sliced (sauté in butter if using chicken sausage)
- 2 tablespoons of butter or the render fat from the sausage (see note below for additional seasonings)
- 1 medium head of cabbage sliced (this can be cut-up ahead time as part of meal prep or can use bagged coleslaw mix to speed up the processed)
- 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese plus some for serving
- 2-4 ounces of cream cheese (optional)
Instructions
Sauté sausage in a pan, reserving render fat and add cabbage and cook to desired texture.
Stir in heavy cream, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly to combine.
Add back into the pan the cooked sausage to incorporate all the ingredients.
Place in a serving dish and top with more parmesan cheese, if desired.
Enjoy!

Notes
This is the base recipe and additional seasonings can be added to taste. Crushed red pepper or garlic can be added to the render fat or butter before adding the cabbage. Onion would also be delicious.
