In this Cabbage & Noodles recipe, simple pantry ingredients create a comforting dish in just minutes. Tender sweet cabbage, fluffy egg noodles and deliciously browned sausage are tossed with butter, salt & pepper. A perfectly comforting meal that your whole family will love!

When I was a kid, I loved veggies and now that I’m older, I love them even more. Right near the top of my list is cabbage!
Not only does it taste great either raw or cooked, it’s so good for you! Typically we use it in cabbage rolls or cabbage roll soup but of course it’s great in a nice crunchy coleslaw too!

Cabbage and Noodles (aka Haluskie) is an old Polish dish and it’s one of my favorites from my Grandmother! Different areas have slightly different versions, Slovak Halusky is more of a potato dumpling while other areas enjoy it as cabbage and noodles.
Regardless of what you call this dish, it’s the perfect way to enjoy the sweet flavors of cabbage and a great way to get a meal on the table on a busy weeknight!

Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe deter you from giving it a try, ingredients don’t have to be fancy to taste amazing!
When seasoning this dish, be generous with the salt & pepper, it makes this extra good! I typically use egg noodles in this dish, I love the light fluffy texture and you can use any type of sausage. If you don’t like sausage, feel free to crisp up some bacon (and sub in some of the bacon grease in place of the butter) or skip the meat altogether.

The peas don’t need to cook, just warm for a couple minutes?
Hi Karen, peas only need a few minutes to cook. So once added in step 4, cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Sounds yummy!
Thanks Sheila!

I agree Barb, if you are lucky enough to have leftovers, it is wonderful a second time around!
This dish is definitely testament to ” Most often the simplest recipes are the best ” !! I made this recipe as written…except, when adding the cabbage, I also added 32oz. Low Sodium Vegetable Broth to make it more “soup like” (just a personal preference) and I used Celery Salt instead of table salt to season (again, just a personal preference) Was DELICIOUS pairs great with some good crusty bread and/or garden salad
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe Anne! That sounds like such a tasty alteration!
sounds so good. i am making now made a few changes as we like spicy foods. added a can of rotel with juice, used canned peas with onion and mushrooms as i don’t used frozen peas. and did not have fresh. and at last i used baby golden potatoes cut into 4 only used 5. wow delicious thanks for sharing
Those sound like tasty additions Carlyn! I hope your family loves the dish!
