If you’re a regular here on A Family Feast, then you’ve probably become quite accustomed to seeing recipes that originated from my husband Jack’s side of the family! But today, we’re sharing a recipe inspired by MY side of the family – this simple and delicious dish called Haluski, or Fried Cabbage and Noodles.
I grew up in a large household with both parents from Polish descent. Every Sunday afternoon was spent visiting my Babci and Dzaidzi (my grandmother and grandfather on my mother’s side). As part of the visit we always enjoyed a simple and very delicious meal – including dishes like this fried cabbage and noodles!

Almost everyone who grew up in a family of Eastern European descent has enjoyed this simple, rustic dish – cabbage and onions fried in butter (I think it’s best when the cabbage and onions are slightly browned and caramelized), then tossed with egg noodles, salt and pepper. Some versions also include caraway seed, slices of kielbasa, or salt pork – but we decided to use pancetta, which added really fantastic flavor to the traditional haluski recipe!
This is pure, delicious comfort food – and it’s best with a great egg noodle like No Yolks®!
PIN THIS RECIPE NOW!
No Yolks® brand noodles are cholesterol-free and they always cook up smooth, firm, and delicious – and it was the perfect choice for our Haluski recipe! No Yolks® egg noodles come in a variety of sizes that always cook up right, and for an even healthier option, No Yolks® noodles are now available in Whole Grain too.

My favorite comfort food using No Yolks is beef stroganoff and their noodles.
This looks so good. Total comfort food!
This looks so comforting!
Since I’m crazy about cabbage I know I’d love this!
Being that I’m of Eastern European descent (and my taste buds are proof of that), this recipe has my name written all over it! I can’t wait to try this. I’m actually comforted just by looking at the photos and seeing the ingredient list.
My mom is Eastern European, so I grew up eating this lovely cabbage dish (and stuffed cabbage…another fave!). Yours looks fantastic and love the addition of pancetta!!
This sounds so delicious and comforting. Love it.
My favorite way to top No Yolk egg noodles is with a creamy mushroom gravy.
I would serve a nice piece of chicken over these noodles.

Beef stroganoff! I haven’t made it in a long time and after thinking about No Yolks I’m excited about making it again soon!
Oh my gosh – YES! I love this ultimate comfort food. We’ve always made it with bacon, but I am so going the route of pancetta next time, it sounds absolutely delicious.
That looks delicious- I love anything with egg noodles 😉
I LOVE fried cabbage! I never thought to add noodles to it, totally doing this soon!
My mother gave me a similar recipe ……… she called it “Polish Noodles”. She used loose sausage for the meat but the rest of the recipe is basically the same. We love it!! 🙂
My mom is from Croatia and I grew up with similar dishes! Seriously delicious. It brings back memories for me! I noticed a lot of similarities between the Croatian, Polish and Hungarian cuisine!
I like to make home made beef stroganoff. No yolk noodles are perfect and hold up to the reheating. Don’t get mushy.

We always use the no yolk noodles. Good sales at the store. I make a balsamic chicken that has tomatoes and green chiles. Yummy sauce to have on the noodles.
I use No Yolks all the time for a passed-down family favorite that we call “Noodle Pleaser”. In fact, the hubby and I just finished the leftovers last night. It’s a layered dish made of spaghetti sauce with hamburger and other seasonings, sour cream & cream cheese, No Yolks (of course) and topped with cheddar cheese. Oh so good!
My favorite recipe using No Yolks noodles is definitely haluski. I make it alot especially in the cold winter months. Never used pancetta though, will have to try it the next time!
My grandmother “Babba” and mother made this all the time but instead of noodles they made cottage cheese/egg drop dumplings (teaspoon full into boiling water). I loved it. Thanks for reminding me to make it again. They called it halushki.
Love Beef Stroganoff.

I am so sorry but you probably don’t know what Haluski are. I am from Slovakia and Halušky are our national food. This differs a lot from Halušky. Mainly, Halušky aren’t noodles or anything you can buy in a shop. If you want to eat Halušky you should make it at home. It is made by flour, boiled grated potatoes and salt. We serve it with Bryndza (special sheep cheese) and roasted bacon. Then it looks like this for example : http://www.afamilyfeast.com/haluski-fried-cabbage-noodles/#comments
Thank you for writing to us Lucia! You are correct – our recipe is definitely more of an ‘Americanized’ and easier version of the recipe made with packaged noodles. The authentic recipe sounds amazing! Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us today!
Your recipe is not “Americanized” Halusky, because it has not a single ingredient matching. It is like making a pizza and calling it “italianized” hamburger. Those are just two, totally different dishes. What you have there, is closest to polish dish Lazanki. Lazanki are noodles (originally in squares, but it is just a shape) with cabbage and lardons. Someone who introduced you to this dish got the name wrong, and you are spreading misinformation further.
Thank you for feedback Katarzyna!
Oh my gosh, my mom and grandma used to make this using homemade noodles. Love this stuff!
this is one of our favorite dishes, but I do leave it in the pan a lot longer, until some of the noodles turn golden brown and have slight crunch to them. Everything becomes caramelized. Adding some pancetta sounds like a delicious idea!
Thanks Refret! Great suggestion!
Sometimes my grandma would put sugar in instead of salt and pepper, for lunch… so good
Sounds interesting…and delicious Jerri! I’m definitely going to try that! Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding! This will be on the menu tomorrow night! 🙂 Thank you!
Hope you like the recipe as much as we do Sheila!
Yum! Growing up, we had haluski all the time! I recently started making this again. Now I must try with no yolk noodles…I’m sure it will be just as delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe so others can now try this.
Hope you enjoy our recipe Marie!
Noodles, cottage cheese and onion’s, this is delicious
Thanks Gail!
Whats the nutritional facts?
Hi Leigh – We don’t calculate the nutritional information for our recipes. But there are lots of free online tools to calculate the nutritional information such as MyFitnessPal, etc – Hope that helps!
Tried this dish last night. Live in Metro detroit and was at a pittsburg Steelers bar. One of the ladies there made it. Said it was a traditional dish when the steelers were in the play offs.
My favorite no yolk noodle dish is a easy beef stroganoff lean beef tip caramelized onion a can our too of crean of mushroom simmer then add. A scoop of sour cream and serve over the no yolk wide egg noodles.
I just made the Haluski for dinner. My husband who only saws something when he doesn’t like something, filled up his plate a second time and said ” This is good,” with a smile. We are not even Polish! I did not have pancetta, so I sliced up a ham steak thinly. Your cooking time was perfect, not under nor over cooked! I turned the heat up high to brown it a bit before I added the noodles.
We will definitely be having this again! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!
Hi Patricia! Thank you so much for writing to us – we love hearing stories like yours and we’re thrilled that you (and your husband!) enjoyed the recipe. Ham is a great substitute – sounds delicious!
I’m confused, is this s a recipe site or a commercial for no yolk noodles???
Hi Bob – Thanks for your question! Our blog is free for you to visit and use our recipes as much as you’d like. Having said that, we do occasional sponsored posts (like this one) for which we are paid – this helps offset the expenses of providing free recipe access to our readers. We always state upfront when the post is sponsored so you can skip right down the recipe if you’d like. Hope that helps explain things – and I hope you enjoy the recipe!
My family likes beef stroganoff. Thanks.
Justice discovered this dish at Gio’s BBQ near Clearfield, PA, and I asked my girlfriend to learn how to make it. This recipe is great!
Thanks Vincent! We love it too! 🙂
Looks amazing! Can we use chicken in this dish?
Sure May! You can add chicken if you’d like!
I’ve made Halushki many, many times in the past 51 years of marriage. My late Hungarian mother-in-law taught me how to make the authentic Hungarian version. Cooking the chopped cabbage in butter until it is almost caramelized, but no onion and no meat of any kind. After combining the cabbage and cooked noodles it is then flavored with nothing but sugar and cinnamon. I must admit the first time I ate it I wasn’t a fan but have grown to enjoy it immensely over the past decades. Just cabbage, noodles and flavorings. Give it a try.
Thank you for sharing your family’s authentic recipe with us Molly! Can’t wait to try it!
I made this and it was GREAT! There won’t be any leftovers to throw away. Next time I’ll try using some olive oil in place of last bit of butter.
Thanks Lulu!
Hahahhaha Pancetta in a Polish peasant dish. Really, my Polish grandmother is laughing in her grave.
No meat at all in this dish, and you can use a mix of butter and bacon grease, or just one or the other. When it’s not ‘sturdy’ enough, add sour cream at the end. Comfort food at it’s best, for sure. Oh, she made her own egg noodles, and taught me how. Nice, thick ones, like German spaetzle in the winter, thinner ones in the summer.
LOL – yes – that’s what you get when a Polish girl marries an Italian guy and they start writing a food blog together! 🙂
I am kind of surprised that a Polish girl with 100 year old recipes would use bagged noodles in her Halushki. The original homemade little dumpling noodles take some time but blow the store bought out of the water.
Thanks Donna – You’re right – homemade dumplings would be fantastic in this recipe! (Not all of our readers have the time or interest in making them however, so we feel the No Yolks noodles are a good alternative.) Thanks for taking the time to write to us this evening.
Ha funny I also grew up in plymouth
It’s a small world Jenny! 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing this. It was perfect, even on the 1st try. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you thank you thank you !
You’re very welcome Dave!
In addition to the kielbasa (or in place of it), we usually fry up some bacon first to put in it, and use the leftover bacon grease to fry the onions and cabbage in place of the butter. Adds a great flavor to an already wonderful dish.
Great suggestion Curt! Sounds delicious!
I love this to an my family we make the real hulishki noodle’s which is a potato like dumpling. It is even more awesome. I will send the recipe if u email me an say hulishki recipe in the sunject
Thank you so much Tina! We’d love to see your recipe. I will send you an email shortly! 🙂
This is better with Kloski Egg Noodles. I’ve made this for years, but I use a pound of Pork Sausage with mine, no Pancetta. My family loves it.
ive been making this cabbage an noodle dish for 40 years.
I am Hungarian descent and I make Haluska. It is fried sauerkraut and flat noodles, you can also fry up bacon, break it into bits and fry it in that with butter added. Absolutely love it!!
Thanks Gezele – we’ll definitely try this with sauerkrauft the next time!
I just finished eating dinner, when I came across this recipe. Believe it or not I’m getting a little bit hungry for this dish. Thank you for posting
You’re very welcome Donald! Hope you’ll give the recipe a try!
Just like my Hungarian aunt made when I was a kid. Delicious
Can’t wait to make this as my husband loves cabbage!!! Only problem, he’s vegetarian….. Can I just fry onions and cabbage and add noodles? Any suggestions???
Hi Denise – Yes – you can certainly leave the pancetta out. (Just be sure to use butter for the best flavor!)
This looks delicious – but what is pancetta – I would love to fix this
Hi Bonnie – Pancetta is an Italian bacon that is sold at the deli counter of most supermarkets. You can also swap in bacon, ham, or kielbasa/smoked sausage if you can’t find it at your market.
What is pancetta, never heard of it before
Hi Rhonda – Pancetta is an Italian bacon that is sold at the deli counter of most supermarkets. You can also swap in bacon, ham, or kielbasa/smoked sausage if you can’t find it at your market.
Not on instagram but…With 3 Polish grandparents, I had to try this! Am sitting here eating it right now. All I had was bacon and some sliced deli ham. That was perfect! Drained the bacon fat, added butter and away I went. This is now in my recipe collection. Definite comfort food….
Sounds like some delicious improvisations Joyce! (This is definitely one of those recipes that works with all different types of cured meats.) Thank you for taking the time to write to us today.
My German grandmother used to make this, I never “actually knew that it had a name” till today, L O L…….We just called it noodles and cabbage, but I continue to make it to this day. Thank you for reminding me of the recipe! No pancetta in the house, so using some thick cut bacon. I forgot this also makes a TON of food, which is no problem for us!
★★★★
So glad we reminded you of a favorite recipe! Swapping in bacon is totally fine! Enjoy!
My mom makes this every year for Christmas, the only difference is she makes homemade potato dumplings in place of the noodles.
Sounds delicious Teri! (I’m sure the homemade dumplings make this recipe even better!)
I have made this for years. Many ways to make it.
BUT: can anyone tell me origin of word Haluski?
I’ve talked to Polish, Hungarian and all. No one recognizes this word.
Hi Sue – Great question! I don’t know the origin of the word either.
I make something similar to this..I fry pork sausage, cabbage, add egg noodles and add cinnamon to taste. Delicious!
Sounds delicious!
I made Haluski because it just sounded goog. IT IS!!! I made it as written but used smoker bacon. Hot, filling, and really good. Lots of black pepper was all I added. Great recipe.
Thank you! That bacon sounds amazing!!
This was good comfort food
Next time I make it I will use less
Salt and butter
Thanks Kathy!
These pierogi’s look soooooo divine. Years ago I had my very first indulgence with these Polish delights, while in Rhode Island. It was a Polish festival, and it was love at first bite!!! My favorite on Earth are the sauerkraut ones!!!!! Thank you sooo much for posting. I am so excited to make them!!!!!
You’re very welcome Debbie! We hope you love the recipe!
My Mom made this when we were kids and we called it ‘Noodle Mush’ She used about 1/2 lb bacon and two other really important ingredients: about 1/2 ring of good smoked kielbasa cut into dice and 1-2 tab. of caraway seeds. Try this variation and I promise you will not be disappointed. I recently made this for 4 friends with enough leftovers for 3-4 more meals. Guess what, the group ate it all! Definitely a no-leftover dish.
Oh yes…adding kielbasa and caraway sounds AMAZING Aly! 🙂
My parents are Jamaican and we ate a slightly varied version of this recipe, which was based on a traditional Jamaican recipe! Only we ate it with rice.
Sounds delicious Connie! I’ve had a lot of reader comments about this recipe and it sounds like so many different cuisines have a similar variation. (I’ll have to try it with rice the next time!) Thanks for taking the time to write to us today!
Hey Martha, my mum used to add a sweet pepper and a tomato to give it some sauce and of course being Jamaican, some peppery heat! But I saw your recipe and will cook it with some pasta for a change!
Yum Connie! We definitely need to try some new variations – the peppers and tomatoes sound like a great addition! Thanks again! Have a great weekend!
My mom (Serbian & Croatian) used to make huluska but instead of the noodles she would make potato dumplings, mixed with the cabbage, which I think??? might be a Hungarian version. She was a great cook but this was my absolute favorite dish she ever would make!
Sounds wonderful! 🙂
