    This is a quick Haluski (Cabbage and noodles with bacon) which I picked up from a Slovak cook back when I was working in a hotel. This was our staff food because the dish comes together really quickly, it's delicious and you can adjust it to your liking.

    πŸ“• What is Haluski or HaluΕ‘ky?

    HaluΕ‘ky are various noodles and dumplings or even the name of the dish itself prepared with the noodles.

    It's a common meal in central Europen countries, such as Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Poland.

    The noodle dumpling dish was introduced to the UK and US due to the influx of foreign workers who immigrated from these countries with their families.

    Haluski is the misspelling but the common name these days of the delicious HaluΕ‘ky noodle dish remains to be Haluski.

    Quick Haluski Recipe

    I got to taste my first haluski when the Slovakian cook prepared it for the staff in a hotel where I worked in Austria.

    All the stuff is either from Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Croatia or Bosnia, so the food was most of the time from those countries.

    We had regularly Hungarian Goulash soup or Beef Goulash with Spaetzle noodles!

    The cook had a quick cabbage and noodles Haluski recipe which he would prepare with some bacon (which adds flavor) and cabbage (because well let's face it cabbage is budget-friendly) for the staff.

    Usually, HaluΕ‘ky is prepared by shaping Gnocchi-like noodle dumplings and cooking them in hot boiling water.

    Our cook would simply boil some noodles to save time.

    AND the result was always a delicious lunch meal!

    πŸ”ͺ How to make it?

    This is a quick overview to help you get going. The full recipe with US and metric measurements is located further below in the recipe card.

    Step 1

    Cook pasta as per package instructions. Saute bacon and onion.

    πŸ§… Ingredients

    For this quick and easy budget-friendly cabbage and noodles Haluski you will need the following ingredients:

    Pasta

    For this quick haluski recipe you can use whichever pasta you like or whichever one you have in your pantry.

    I like to use bow tie pasta (Farfalle) with my haluski and I always use egg noodle pasta because the taste is superior.

    Brands like Barilla don't disappoint and are worth the money for the quality that you get!

    Bacon

    The bacon is the sole taste giver of this haluski recipe!

    I mean, you could turn this haluski vegetarian but I don't think so it would make sense because it would be a boring dish without the bacon.

    I always hunt down the best bacon cuts when I intend to prepare this quick haluski.

    Gourmet Bacon or Artisan Bacon gives this dish the special flavors which you will be craving!

    A little goes a long way too!

    You can also use smoked Speck (as it is commonly done in central Europe).

    The advantage of Speck is that you don't need to cook it and you can just cut it into the pasta.

    Which can save you a few cooking minutes.

    Pick a Speck that has a clear origin, the good ones are prepared in the mountains.

    Cabbage

    Pick a white cabbage variety, the red/purple cabbage doesn't suit the dish.

    Cabbage is usually anywhere in the world a budget food ingredient.

    Harvest season for cabbage is from late August, September to early October and that's when you get the best cabbage!
