Cabbage and Noodles

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 was great. I made it just about as written. My only change was to omit the olive oil and use about 1 T bacon fat instead. I also added three crumbled slices of bacon at the end. I served it with cottage cheese on the side. So yummy! Next time I will probably cut back on the butter by a tablespoon and reduce the noodles to 12 oz instead of 16. Thanks for the recipe!

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.

Amended from an earlier review: Being of Hungarian descent I grew up eating it, although without the peas; we called it Haluska, and we had cottage cheese on the side, which tastes awesome. Also, it was served as the main course, not a side dish. Another thing that really enhances the flavor is turning the heat up at the end and getting a good crisp on the bottom. Today I substitute whole wheat egg noodles to enhance the nutrition content. I only give this four stars for one reason, whenever it's cooking it always smells like there's going to be something even better in the pot (say stuffed cabbage?) and when I was a kid I was always dissappointed!

Yum! This is easy, inexpensive and delicious! I even love the the snuck in peas! Only thing I changed was cutting the butter in half and subing with olive oil just because I couldn't bear to add that much butter! This will be made again and again. Thanks so much Rita!

Wow!! I was very leery of this recipe, but I've been looking for meatless dishes and this one had high ratings so I gave it a try! WOW! It was melt in your mouth deliciousness! It is a far cry from the traditional southern food I am used to but it is a keeper! 9 year old loved it too!

halved the recipe, used 3 Tbsp butter and no olive oil (could have reduced to 2 Tbsp butter for a lighter meal). I omitted the green pea but added in chicken apple sausages, and a splash of chicken stock just to not make it become too dry. I flavored the dish with 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

A simply wonderful dish so reminiscent of my Polish grandmother's cooking. I was going to serve it with a grilled ham steak - but the cabbage and noodles were so delicious that DH and I wanted nothing else! While the peas add color, a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley would suffice. Thanks Rita - this is not only a keeper - but - food for my Polish soul!

This is so good! I was looking for a way to use up some cabbage tonight and had everything else on hand so decided to give this a try. It was really wonderful! I only made 1/2 a recipe and it still was a lot. Glad to have leftovers for tomorrow night. Thanks for posting!

This was surprisingly delish. I added some feta at the end to give it a creamy finish, and it was very satisfying.

Thanks for sharing! We are a family of 3, 2 adults and a child, and I halved the recipe and we still had leftovers (even though hubby went back for seconds!). Only had red cabbage on hand, so used that and it turned out to be quite colorful and striking...purple cabbage, green peas. Had a little leftover bacon that we tossed in too, but otherwise followed instructions. All of us gobbled it up, fairly sure we'll be making this again. =)

I made this recipe on 3/11/11 for the " Sides " event in Food Photo Forum,and most importantly for mine and my SO's dinner.:)Except for cutting the recipe in half,the recipe was followed exactly as written. And since you can't go wrong with bacon :),it to was added.For a true " German Type Meal " this was served as a side dish to go with Wiener Schnitzel,Osman's Weiner Schnitzel. Since with both enjoyed this so much, it will be made again.Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

I used farfalle, diced ham, and corn (instead of the peas) since that was what I had in the house. As I was making this dish, I set aside some of the plain pasta just in case my kids (ages 5-8) wouldn't eat it. Turned out to be completely unnecessary, as everyone, including my uber-picky 5-year-old (who snubs his nose at pizza and mac'n'cheese) gobbled this up! I let everyone add their own salt and pepper, and I was surprised that my kids all loved the pepper and even added more! These are the same kids who don't like ketchup because it's "too spicy". Go figure. I can't even remember the last time all 5 members of my family liked something this much. I will be making this again soon! Thanks for posting!!

Decided on this recipe as I had leftover peas in the freezer and cooked pasta from yesterday. This was a lot better than I thought it'd taste (and I like cabbage.) What a nice surprise. Hubby and I really liked it. Thanks.

Eating this dish will probably kill me, with all its butter and bacon, and I totally don't mind. I've never eaten any Polish or Hungarian food before, and if this is what it's like then I approve. I've made it both with and without bacon, and I feel that it's good without but even better with . . . although that could be my bacon addition talking.
