Recipe - Kasha Varnishkes (Buckwheat And Bowties)

1 cup Uncooked Kasha
(Buckwheat Groats)
1 Egg
One half cup Onion; Chopped
2 tablespoon Butter
1 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
2 cup Boiling Water
1 One half cup Bow Tie Noodles
Parsley; Chopped

Combine the kasha and the egg in a medium bowl. Mix until thoroughly
blended. Heat the kasha mixture in a medium skillet over medium heat,
stirring, until the grains become dry and separated (about 3 minutes).
Remove from the heat. Set aside. Saute the onion in the butter in a small
skillet until golden. Add the onion, salt, pepper and boiling water to the
kasha mixture. Mix thoroughly. Cover. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes,
stirring occasionally so that the kasha doesn't stick to the bottom of the
pan. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain. Add the
noodles to the kasha. Toss lightly to combine. Sprinkle with chopped
parsley. Serve hot.
