For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the cabbage while cooking for added depth of flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta, such as egg noodles or penne. Caraway seeds are a traditional addition to cabbage dishes and can be added to the skillet along with the cabbage and onion for an authentic touch.
