Nutritional values

Hearty cuisine with added health benefits: the cabbage noodles do without bacon, but with lots of sauerkraut! The good thing about it is that anyone who eats sauerkraut more often rarely has digestive problems. One reason for this is the fibre it contains. On the other hand, sauerkraut contains lactic acid bacteria which ensure a healthy intestinal flora and thus also stimulate the immune system.

Instead of penne you can also use ribbon or spiral noodles. Either way, go for the wholemeal variety! Thanks to plenty of fibre, the dish will keep you full for a long time.
