One Pan Cabbage and Smoked Sausage is a tasty skillet dinner that is really easy to make, healthy, keto-friendly, and a great family meal for any busy weeknight. The tender buttery cabbage pairs well with the delish sausage. Best of all, this dish is made in just one pan, so cleanup is a breeze!
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cabbage chunks, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
Add broth or wine and let cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is almost evaporated. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Using the same skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and brown the sausage, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in hot sauce and honey and let cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring often.
Scoot sausage over to one of the sides of the skillet and add the cabbage to the other side. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top of the cabbage, if you want to. Serve the sausage and cabbage skillet by itself or with Dijon mustard on the side.

Cut out the core from each quarter and discard it.
Place the cabbage on the cutting board with one of the flat sides down and cut it into chunks -- similar to how you'd cut an onion.
