Krautfleckerl

Krautfleckerl is an Austrian pasta dish with Bohemian (Czech Republic) origins that has handmade pasta squares fleckerl and white cabbage as main ingredients. The preparation starts with sauteeing onions, cabbage, and sugar until caramelized, which are then seasoned with caraway seeds, pepper, and salt, and mixed with cooked pasta. Optionally, broth, vinegar, or water can also be added, so the cabbage doesn't dry out. The dish is present in most of the Central European countries, such as Hungary, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia. Still, the dish varies from country to country and can include additional ingredients such as bacon, parsley, and garlic or leave some ingredients out.
