- 2 cups wide egg noodles or lazanki pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound kielbasa, sliced into half-moons
- 2 cups sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles or lazanki pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Add the sliced kielbasa to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. The kielbasa should be nice and crispy on the edges.
- Stir in the drained sauerkraut and caraway seeds, if using. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated with the kielbasa and sauerkraut mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just to heat everything through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this hearty dish warm, and let the comforting flavors take you straight to Poland!
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute kielbasa with a plant-based sausage.
