Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 5 tbs butter
  • 1 medium head cabbage, cored and chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbs olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup diced bacon
  • 1 tbs fresh chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
    Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil (if using) and let it melt.
    Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
    Stir in the chopped cabbage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and begins to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using).
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
    If using bacon or pancetta, cook it separately until crispy, then stir it in with the noodles.
    Taste and adjust:
  • Adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste. If the mixture feels dry, stir in an extra tablespoon of butter or a splash of olive oil.
  • Serve:
    Transfer the halushki to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
    Optionally, serve with a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.
