Cabbage and Noodles

Cabbage and Noodles are perfect when you need budget-friendly comfort food. This simple dish made with pantry staples cooks in under 20 minutes!

If you end up having more cabbage to cook, try my Fried Cabbage recipe or the Egg Roll in a Bowl. They are always a hit with cabbage fans!

This popular dish has Eastern European roots. You will often see it called “haluski” or “lazanki” depending on the region. To make Cabbage and Noodles, wide egg noodles are cooked and tossed with fried sausage and cabbage. It’s a simple dish yet very satisfying.

Ingredients:

• green cabbage: I used half of a medium head, sliced thinly or shredded
• noodles: I used wide egg noodles, but any bite-size noodles work
• sausage: I used Polish sausage, but smoked sausage or even brats work too
• onion: for more flavor
• seasoning: aside from salt and pepper, I add Italian seasoning
• olive oil
• butter: add a tablespoon of unsalted butter to sauteeing cabbage; for extra rich flavor, add another tablespoon along with noodles and stir to melt

How to make Cabbage and Noodles?

• Start by heating up a large pot with water. Bring it to boil, add 3 teaspoons of salt, then noodles. Cook until al dente.
• Heat up oil in a large skillet.
• Add sausage and cook, stirring often, until it starts to brown.
• Add butter, sausage and onion. Stir in and cook until the cabbage softens. Add seasoning and saute for 1 minute.
• Add cooked (and drained) noodles, stir in.
• Serve garnished with chopped parsley.

Variations:

• low-carb: skip the noodles and double the cabbage amount
• vegetarian: skip the sausage and add mushrooms for the umami flavor
• creamy: add 1/2 cup of sour cream to cooked dish
• with bacon: use 5 to 6 bacon strips, chop and saute first, then add cabbage and follow the recipe as written

Storing leftovers:

Any leftovers should be stored in a container with lid (to prevent the noodles from drying), in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can I make it ahead of time?

You can make this dish up to 2 days in advance. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
