How to Make Lazy Pierogi

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water for the pasta. While the water is heating, begin preparing the other ingredients.
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for another 3-5 minutes until tender.
  5. Add the sliced Polish sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until heated through.
  6. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
  7. While the noodles drain, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet with the sausage mixture.
  8. Add the drained sauerkraut to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  9. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and stir gently to combine with the sausage and sauerkraut mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water to create a creamy consistency.
  10. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
