This dish of cabbage and noodlesknocks out absolutely everyone who tries it. (I think the added bacon and Parmesan might have a small hand in this.) A good finishing hit of black pepper and squeeze of lemon really brings the dish to life. If you can’t find short-cut angel hair pasta, look for the short Spanish noodles called fideos, or just use longer angel hair pasta and break it up into two-inch lengths yourself. I love this sort ofquick weekday dishthat packs in a heap of veggies and doesn’t skimp on flavor. Try it and thank me later!

I found the recipe needed a few adjustments-I would cook the bacon until browned-and the onion and garlic until cooked. It took me 20 minutes to wilt the cabbage in the mixture, I added extra butter and 8 oz. of stock. The results were delicious!

Our farm share had a head of cabbage. Having already made coleslaw,I figured I'd give this a go. Pretty good. The only change I made was adding kielbasa.

Delicious and comforting. My grandmother in Germany made a version of this when I was a child called Krautnudeln.

Great recipe, also if you add spliced apples-saute' with the onions, a teaspoon or so of cider vinegar, pinch of sugar and omit the parmesan cheese - a wonderful dish to accompany pork chops or sausages.

Was very good! I substituted Thai glass noodles for the angel hair pasta.
