My mother-in-law loved making this dish during lent, on meatless Fridays. My husband liked them creamier, so he would mix in 1 Tbs. of sour cream to his plate of Halushky. They are quick and tasty. I often would make my own pasta. Ingredients:
1 head green cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 carrot, shredded |
2 teaspoons seasoning (maggie) |
1/4 teaspoon celery seed |
2 tablespoons oil (canola) |
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
1 teaspoon pepper (or to taste) |
2 cups pasta, cooked (or home-made pasta) |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Remove and discard a couple of the outer leaves from the head of cabbage.
2. Cut the cabbage in 4 quarters.
3. Cut out the core from each quarter.
4. Chop up the cabbage, coarsely.
5. Place cabbage in a pot filled with cold water (enough water to cover the cabbage).
6. Add 1 teaspoons of salt, bring it to boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, or until the chunky parts of the cabbage are semi-cooked (not to overcook it, or it will turn into mush).
7. Remove from heat, and pour out onto a strainer to drain.
8. Add 2 Tbs. of canola oil (or butter if your diet permits it) into a frying.
9. pan, and heat.
10. Add chopped onions, and sauté to a golden color.

14. Add the cooked pasta , and blend in with the rest of the vegetables.
