Sausage and Cabbage Noodles

Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the noodles and return to the boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and stir in the sausages, green pepper and onion. Cook and stir until the sausages are evenly browned and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess fat.

Bring the 1 litre of water to the boil in a large saucepan. Stir in the cabbage, the sausage mixture and the noodles. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 30 minutes. Add water while cooking if needed; the mixture should not be dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with soured cream if desired.
