Although, the recipe does sound delicious (I can't think of many things with bacon that aren't it is not completely traditional. I would love for people to try a more traditional version of this dish which is not just called halushki, but also halushka, shakenza, etc. It is made with homemade noodle/ dumplings that are amazing! Imagine if gnocchi and spaetzle had a baby...my mouth is watering! The recipe will vary a little bit depending on what country it comes from. It is not only a Ukrainian dish, but also Polish, Hungarian, and well, what my family is; Gypsy. The Roma (Gypsies as well as many people of similar background are known for the peasant style meals that are rich and filling.

Real bacon, butter, and a slim diet for the rest of the week are a must. As odd as it sounds, the my family actually would top it off with a little scoop of cottage cheese. Not sure where that originated but I won't eat it any other way.

Let me know if you would like the recipe.

I loved this dish, very different, but so good. To the lady who said shame on you Guy for saying this is Holy Haluski, when she said it wasn't, very childish. For all of us who have watch Guy since he won on Next Food Chef, knows that Guy always put's his own spin on dishes, and so to the lady that made that comment, next time get another chef that may make it the way you know it as, but to put Guy down on his dishes is ridiculous. That is what makes Guy's food great, his own touch. He is one of the most popular chefs on the Food channel, so that ought to say something about him and his cooking. Love you Guy, keep up the great work

I could'nt find pancetta, so I used bacon instead. My mother loved it. She would have liked more bacon though. I will order pancetta online next time and let you all know how it came out.

I grew up on Haluski(my father was born there and I have to tell you this recipe is way off from the traditional Ukrainian dish. First of all you never add carrots to this dish. Haluski is a peasant dish and all of my ancestors including all the traditional recipes call for sauteed cabbage,sauted omions,sauted rinsed saurkraut in unsalted butter served over either freshly cooked bowties or wide egg noodles with fresh ground pepper,salt and some dill weed. That's it. This recipe should not be called haluski it should be called something else.
Shame on you Guy Fieri. My grandmother is rolling around in her grave. I think I will post the REAL recipe.

Very good - the flavors are all over. I decided to use only 1 tablespoon of garlic instead of 3 and it tastes great. In also cut the pepper down to 1 tablespoon due to previous comments and that works too. This dish is going to a super bowl party - - I will comment later on how this dish fared.

Way too much pepper, but other than that I liked it. My kids hated it though (not a big surprise. Cut the pepper in half or add a dollop of sour cream.

My husband & I are both from Pittsburgh where haluski was always a stable - no matter what nationality you were! We always had the noodle, butter and cabbage in the summer when cabbage was plentiful and dinners were made on top of the stove. Guy's version with garlic and carrots and bacon was so good. The flavors combined into a marvelous mix. I was out of bacon but used a smoked ham hock instead. I think the bacon would have been better and will try it next time but the ham was still tasty. Anyone who likes haluski and garlic should try this receipe! Thanks Guy!

I first saw Guy make this one the Wendy Williams Show. It's something easy my husband likes to make for Saturday lunch w/the family. We don't use the capers or red wine and it still turns out great! We like to add a little cayanne pepper - to give it a kick! We've made it without the peas/carrots & it's still delicious!

This recipe had good and expensive ingredients that seamed like it was still missing something. Sorry Guy but this one was a bust.

We saw it on the Triple D. My husband had to have it. We watched both videos and liked Guys. I had all the items in the fridge. This was very good and EASY! The carrots, capers really made it.
