Cabbage and Noodles

Rita~'s Note:

A great side dish or a meal on its own. This is a Polish/Hungarian dish. Can use bacon but I cut back on that to make it meatless. Also can garnish with poppy seeds. Adding peas for color and nutrition. Bacon is a yummy addition for those that eat meat. Just brown drain most of the fat then add butter and oil and brown onions. Be sure to give the onions a nice brown color using a med high heat.

Husband loved this Rita!! My mom made a similiar dish while we were growing up which everyone loved so I knew he would enjoy this. I did use farfelle noodles since we are vegan and I cut back on them a bit just because they are much heavier than egg noodles. Vegan butter spread worked just fine in place of the salted butter and we replaced some of the salt with spicy season salt. I served with jelly bread - we would always have fresh bread with homemade jelly along with peppery cabbage dishes. This was soooo easy to make, inexpensive, and totally filling!! The DH ejoyed the leftovers the next day just as much. Thanks so much for this keeper Rita!!! Recipenap for Veg*n Swap 28!!

This is a good, simple way to use up leftover cabbage. We made just as directed adding some bacon bits at the end. It does make a lot though, so be prepared for leftovers!

Very yummy and NO leftovers (we kept going back for more). Served with sliced ham.
