Ingredients
- 175 g Kielbasa Sausages 6oz or 2 Medium-Sized
- 1 Large Onion 250g
- 200 g Hispi or Sweetheart Cabbage 2½-3 Cups
- 75 g Sauerkraut ½-⅔ Cup
- 2 tablespoon Cooking Oil
- 150 g Lazanki Pasta 1¼ Cups
- ½ teaspoon Plus extra for cooking pasta Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Cut the sausages into 5-6mm (¼") thick rounds.
- Cut the onions in half, peel them and then cut them into half-moon shapes as thinly as you can.
- Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the tough heart section, then shred the rest of the cabbage. Start with the green end, cutting it into 5-6mm (¼") strips, getting thinner as you move towards the base of the cabbage, ending up cutting as thinly as you can.
- Heat a 30cm or 12" frying pan over a medium-high heat, and when it is hot, add the cooking oil and onions and cook them for 7-10 minutes or until they begin to change colour.
- Throw in the sliced kielbasa and cook for another 3-5 minutes; you want the onions to be nice and golden.
- Whilst the sausage is cooking, bring a 20cm or 8" saucepan of well-salted water to a boil. I use 1-1½ teaspoons of salt in a pan this size.
- When the kielbasa has had 5 minutes, throw in the sliced cabbage, stir to combine and add a lid and reduce the heat to low.
- As soon as the lid goes on the cabbage, add the pasta squares to the boiling water and cook until al dente, which will take around 4-5 minutes.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a little (3-4 tablespoons) of the cooking water and add the pasta and sauerkraut to the pan with the cabbage.
- Add the salt and pepper, toss everything to coat and then pour in enough pasta water to get a nice silky coating.
