Sautéed cabbage replaces the noodles in this version, which
considerably lightens the dish. Clocking in at less than 400 calories a
serving, it makes for a healthy weeknight meal. I’d actually double the
recipe—it makes two servings, but I definitely could’ve eaten more. I also
recommend adding some extra protein—something like shrimp or chicken.
