I've been making this for years and usually use kielbasa. I add it during the last 15-20 minutes of cook time as I don't like for the sausage to get too soft.

I grate some carrot into the skillet also, it adds a little color and flavor. I have made this for years and it is a favorite

I prepared this dish last night for New Year's Eve dinner. I made a few changes to the recipe; it was one of the best dishes so far. I used Olive oil, in which I cooked the onion and garlic. I added broccoli and cauliflower as well. The broccoli added color; salt and pepper, more olive oil and topped with Parmessan cheese.

There was a local Polish restaurant where we used to get a similar dish, only with egg noodles, some butter added, and a little chopped bacon. It is unbelievably tasty for such a simple dish!

I have had it many times over the years, minus the bacon. I believe it is called Halushki.

In our Slovak household, it was called "sheef-leeky" (phonetically). Used the wide noodles and added sugar to taste. Haluski are small individual dumplings made with flour, egg, and water, then boiled for a few minutes till they lost to the top.

Instead of sausage, I suggest adding Hoffy "Hollywood Stand" hot dogs. They are truly delicious! The only store I have been able to locate them at is Stater Bros market.

This recipe for Farmer's Cabbage and Pasta is a side dish. The sausage you see in the picture is merely a suggestion to serve with the cabbage and pasta. Thank you for all of your comments! Enjoy!

I make a dish like this but instead of sausage I use some good smoked bacon. The leftovers if any I reheat in a frying pan, then add some beaten eggs and eat it for breakfast. It's really tasty

It's called "halushki" in the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region. It tastes even better the next day once the flavors blend.

I tried this the other night it was so easy to make. It was delish. My husband made a suggestion, trying not to hurt my cooking ego, to add either some condensed tomato soup with it or some crushed tomatoes with herbs and spices. Personally I like it just the way it is. I agree with JanCanCook, this is supper!

Instead of using the vegetable oil, try frying up some bacon and using that grease to saute the onions and cabbage. The crumble bacon in with the other ingredients.....Delicious!
