This recipe is very popular in Pennsylvania where my family is from. There are slightly different names and slightly different recipes but basically halushka or haluski is a braised cabbage dish with either noodles, pasta or dumplings and sometimes bacon, ham or smoked sausage added. It is sometimes a side dish but most often it's a main dish. It is a common potluck dish. In my version I use bacon and drippings and homemade dumplings. Most recipes will call for cooked wide egg noodles, kluski noodles or bite size pasta like farfalle (bowties). Instead, I like to make dumplings because they are delicious and because its more likely that I'll have a cup of flour and an egg on hand than a bag of noodles. Either way it is a quick, easy, inexpensive and delicious dinner. If you want to omit the bacon you can substitute butter for a vegetarian version or use olive oil and an egg-free pasta for a vegan friendly version. I hope you give this recipe and try and I hope that you lov
