Are you hungry for a dish of rich and delicious Haluski? We know we are! This simple vegan cabbage and noodles casserole is high on the comfort food scale. Heavenly, warm, and easy to make any night of the week.
Haluski is pronounced “ha-loosh-key” and has its roots in the Polish and Slovakian culture. Traditionally, this uses egg noodles, butter, cabbage, and some type of meat. Some versions also include potatoes or use potato filled dumplings instead of the noodles. Our take on this tasty recipe eliminates all of the animal products, but keeps every bit of the flavor. It’s a win-win!

Star Ingredients
We love when a recipe is both high on the health scale, as well as delicious. If you decide to use a whole grain or bean-filled pasta, the health benefits will be even more impressive.
Napa Cabbage – Great source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, low in calories, high in fiber, full of B vitamins (especially B9), vitamins C and K, calcium, manganese, and antioxidants.
Onion (both yellow and green) – Good amount of vitamin C, folate, vitamin B6, and potassium. Rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, contain prebiotic fibers that are good for your gut. Also antibacterial and antiseptic.
Garlic – Low in calories and rich in vitamin C, vitamin B6 and manganese. Antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, and also has anti-inflammatory benefits.
Tips for Serving Up This Delightful Dish
The simplicity of this dish speaks for itself (and doesn’t really need anything else), but we’ve come up with a few flavorful suggestions for adding extra enjoyment to your food.
Sprinkle With Special Seasoning – For a little bit of extra oomph, use a peppering of paprika on top of your casserole before baking. Smoked, sweet, or Hungarian—all taste terrific as a topping.
Living the Dream With Sour Cream – A favorite final topping for vegan cabbage and noodles is vegan sour cream. Whip up a quick and easy sour cream by mixing ¾ cup of unsweetened, plain, plant-based yogurt with the juice of one lemon, a pinch of salt, and one tablespoon of nutritional yeast. Voila!
Pile on the Plant-Based Sausages – Bump up the savory sensation in this recipe by serving with a few sizzling vegan sausages. Either whole or sliced, roasted or fried in a skillet would work really well as a salty side.
How to Make Vegan Cabbage and Noodles
Making this savory and satisfying dish is super easy. Cook the pasta, garlic, onions, cabbage, and then pop into the oven—that’s it!
Boil the pasta noodles, drain, rinse, and put aside for later.
Cabbage and noodles is a popular Polish dish that is absolutely delicious, although it’s usually loaded with butter, egg noodles, and sometimes meat. This vegan cabbage and noodles recipe is a family favorite made with simple plant-based ingredients. It’s a great weeknight dinner that’s easy to pull together. In my family, this is a dish that’s always at our holiday gatherings, too.
Add salt, pepper, and sliced green onions, and mix well. Add drained pasta, mix well, and remove from heat. Taste the cabbage and noodles and if you’d like to add additional salt (to taste), you can do so here.
Pour the pasta cabbage mixture into a baking dish and bake in pre-heated oven for 25 minutes.
