Made this several times before ..we all love it. Tonight I’m adding in carrots, potatoes, mushrooms and hot dogs…. Easy lovable meal
Julie Rodriguez
So tasty and simple! Cut the butter to a 1/4C with olive oil and added some ham, but otherwise we made it according to the recipe. A great, easy, cheap weeknight meal.

Good side to meatloaf. In fact, i mashed my meat and put it into the pasta. I used 2 tablespoons of margerine, used a bag of prepackaged coleslaw, and added chicken broth, parm, bacon, and franks hot sauce.
Megan Campbell
Excellent! All I added was a few more spices. Everyone added some parm cheese and salt and pepper to taste to their plate. Very easy and tasty. Great way to use up extra cabbage from the garden. We ate this by itself with some garlic bread but it would also make a great side dish for pork chops/roast. Will be making again. Maybe next time I will add some tomato for extra flavor and color. Thanks for the idea!
Cynthia Richards
I cut the butter in half.
Maria Dillon
This was amazing! I’m sorry some people didn’t enjoy, but I absolutely did. This is a ‘less is more’type of recipe. I used purple cabbage because I had it and needed a recipe to use it all. It required more cook time to get the cabbage tender, but came out great. I also used black bean penne pasta instead.
Mary Garcia
Very easy and delicious. Added a little extra seasoning. Will make again!

I have made this dish on multiple occasions, and it never disappoints.

This didn’t sound good, but i tried it because I had the ingredients & had read the rave reviews. My whole family of pick eaters loved it, going back for seconds. It was such a hit that it will be a regular for us. Cheap, easy, & tasty! I followed the recipe except used a little more seasoning and a little less butter. Made an onion & garlic free version for my husband, and even that one was yummy.
Luis Ayers
I couldn’t believe I liked cabbage & pasta together, for some reason. I didn’t. I LOVED IT!! It was AWESOME! Next time, we’re kicking up the spice!
Nancy Hart
I have made this a few times now and it is very tasty but I did end up reducing the amount of butter. I also ended up adding smoked sausage making a meal out of it.
Steven Johns
Made as written, but it doesn’t need so much butter.
Jessica Harrell
I made it for side dish to go with pork roast. I couldn’t stop eating it
Mark Barry
Needs caraway to make this perfect. Sometimes I saute mushrooms too.
Christy Morgan
Only addition was an Italian eggplant sausage link by Field Roast
Christine Norris
I make this dish all the time (Slovak heritage) but a little differently. Browning the butter and onions in a large skillet like my grandmother did adds a lot of flavor. I then add shredded cabbage and fry the mix until the cabbage is a golden color. Add the drained pasta and toss until the pasta is well coated.
Thomas Meyer
I can’t fault the recipe. I also can’t help but alter things. I added diced sauteed Jalapeno pepper to the vegetable mix. I used 2-3 tablespoons butter, some Olive oil and some bacon fat. Makes for a tasty mix. I like complete meals so I put in chopped Turkey Kielbasa.

This is a wonderful polish dish ( Huluchski)my mother in law taught me how to make. The flavor really comes out when cabbage is cut and simmered correctly. This dish is not to be rushed, the final stage is making home made doughy noodles and dropping them in boiling salted water while cabbage is cooking, drain and combine when cabbage is almost melt in your mouth soft. We use 1/4 cup butter, salt and pepper only. Everyone wants it whenever they stop by.
Lawrence Lee
Good recipe, but I added just two more things to it: a small piece of chili to fry with the onions, garlic and cabbage, as it gives a little bit of kick, and I also mixed in PASTA WATER when adding pasta to the pan. It perfectly combines everything together and gives the pasta a smooth texture.
Erin Kennedy
I followed the recipe exactly and it was great, but it was a lot of food. If you make it as a side dish, its enough for 6 people and as a main dish, I would say about 3-4 people. I will make it again for sure and just adjust the amounts.
Taylor Patrick
I halved the recipe and used only 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. I followed recipe exactly but needed to add about 1 1/2 cups of unsalted chicken stock to keep in moist. A tip for the cabbage…cut out the larger ribs as they take longer to soften and required an additional 10 minutes to cook.
