This dish has all the amazing flavors I grew up with in an Eastern European household. I can’t remember a time when someone wasn’t sauteing things like bacon, ham, onion, cabbage potatoes and mushrooms together. I still crave all those flavors today.
With the availability of Leftover Holiday Ham, this pasta was the perfect dish to throw together. It has so much flavor and is the perfect comfort food…especially if you have a house full of people. And it’s so easy to make, especially since everyone is a little tired from cooking.

Bacon, ham, leeks and mushrooms…nothing could be more fabulous!!

The purple cabbage makes for a colorful plate.

I’d say that looked good, but to me …. not so much. I have a very nasty allergy to mushrooms. But, I think I will give this a try without the ‘shrooms.
