This recipe for traditional Austrian Krautfleckerl ("cabbage pasta") is perfect for rainy autumn days or cold winter nights.
It is a perfect dish if you want to include more cabbage to your diet, and is oh so delicious with the caramelized bacon and onions.
You can freeze this dish and also prep it in advance (it is much better on the next day!).
"Fleckerl" is a typical Austrian pasta that looks like the cook failed to cut square pasta. You can replace it with any short pasta of choice, you can also use tagliatelle pasta and break it to short pieces before cooking.
