Eating for Pennies, Cabbage and Sausage Noodles

Truly a delicious and inexpensive way to feed a group.   This is a favorite dish at our house and reheats wonderfully.  

• 12 oz kielbasa or sausage, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• ¼ cup salted butter
• 1 large onion, diced
• ½ head cabbage, chopped (approx. 6-7 cups)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ⅔ cup frozen peas
• 8 oz uncooked egg noodles
• salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
