Cabbage and Noodles flavored with little more than butter and a bit of pepper is going to impress you in its simplicity. This an old-fashioned dish that has become a regular comfort food in our household.
Cabbage and Noodles
Some of the best meals are simple and traditional. That is how I would describe cabbage and noodles. When I first learned of this dish I was a bit surprised by the flavor that came from such simple ingredients.
Roasting or sauteing the cabbage along with the onions creates those crispy flavorful bits of crunch. The soft buttery noodles meld with the pepperiness of the cabbage into a tasty bite.
Cabbage and Noodles is often served as the main dish. However, we like to serve it with corned beef, sausages, or chicken thighs.
When it comes to one pot of comfort food this one is really hard to beat. Bacon or kielbasa would be great additions as well, now that I think of it. Can you tell I really like dishes that serve as a good backdrop for additional flavors?
What is Haluski?
Have you heard of Haluski before this? Haluski is a traditional Polish dish of cabbage and noodles. Often started on the stove and finished in the oven, this recipe simplifies that process by cooking the entire recipe on the stove.
The flavors here are simple but delicious. Take care to salt and pepper generously and taste as you go. If you do not use enough salt, this will become a bland dish that you may not love as much as you might if it’s seasoned properly.
If you’re lucky enough to have leftover sauteed cabbage or roasted cabbage on hand, this is a terrific way to use it. Just warm the cabbage in a pot with a bit of butter and then add the noodles.

Cabbage and Noodles Recipe
- Cook the noodles until tender but still slightly firm, about 6-7 minutes. Drain well and rinse in cold water until cool to stop the cooking process.

- Add the cabbage to the pot with the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, allowing the cabbage pieces to brown a bit while the cabbage softens, about 8-10 minutes. Taste and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet and allow to melt. Add the cooked noodles to the pot and toss well to coat with butter. Taste again and add salt, as needed.
