polish lazanki - cabbage, onion and noodles
The ingredient list is small, and the work goes into the preparation. The dish takes a bit of time to make, but it is worth it! This is very hearty and filling. It is one of my favorite dishes from childhood; I would love it when my mom made lazanki. Recently I made this dish and mixed in polish sausage to the finished dish. The change went over very well; it was yummy!
