Easy Baked Cabbage Alfredo
This is an unexpected cabbage side dish you will make time and again.
This creamy dish is giving serious pasta Alfredo vibes minus the carbs. We couldn’t stop eating it and I just kept making it all week long. Did I mention its just toss in the pan and go. The prep work was so simple and I loved it!

I’ve made this twice and it’s absolutely delicious and super easy.
HI Julia, thanks so much for the kind feedback!
Hi Stella
I made this last night and ate it with a lettuce wrapped burger. I loved it! I halved the recipe and adjusted the ingredients accordingly. It was delicious! Thank you!
HI Anita, that’s awesome! I love the way you used it!
I added Asiago cheese to it, not a big fan of parm. and it was delicious. I like cooked cabbage especially with butter & cream. I forgot the onions but I doubled the garlic being Italian it’s just a habit. I love to watch what you do I cook like you everyday. My Nono would be happy.
Hi Francine, that’s so awesome! I love to hear it! Thank you for the sweet messsage!
sounds delicious. I would like to try and lighten it up maybe using 1/2 cream and 1/2 Greek yogurt
Hi Lynn, its worth a try! But its really not that much heavy cream to begin with.
Although the correct name for this recipe should be scalloped cabbage because it’s not alfredo without parmesan cheese, converting it to Alfredo is super simple. Because I had never thought of preparing cabbage this way when searching for different ideas, I want to thank you for this recipe that I can use to turn into Alfredo. I’m sure it’s also tasty without the parmesan. Thank you.
Hi Taren, You have a point but one can easily add in the grated parmesan here as a garnish too!
I’m glad you liked the recipe overall! Cheers!
Thanks. I was wondering about the absence of the cheese.
I’m not into cabbage at all but I’m more averse to throwing good food out. I had half a cabbage in the refrigerator that a friend gave to me and saw this recipe. Very easy, perfect measurements and totally rich and delicious. I had it as a side with the zucchini lasagne bake another HH recipe that’s awesome. Yum!
