INSTRUCTIONS

POLONI (Miniature Pasta Squares w/Dairy Sauce)  Tish-Ah B'Av & Shavuoth
are two holidays when dairy foods are  preeminent & meat dishes are
temporarily set aside. These pasta  squares are covered w/a
well-seasoned, rich dairy sauce. Poloni would  also be welcome during
hot summer days when cooking meat would  increase the temperature in
kitchen & eating it create a heaviness  not conductive to comfort.
Tish-Ah B'Av indicates that this fast day  is celebrated on the ninth
day of month of Av. This tragic holiday  commemorates the destruction
of First & Second Temples of Jerusalem.  Mix flour, egg, & salt & add
just enough water to prepare a dough firm  enough to be handled. Dust
w/flour to reach desirable consistency. Put  dough ball into a plastic
bag & let it rest at room temp for 1 hour.  Cut dough into halves &
roll each piece into a very thin pancake. (I  do this w/my hand-cranked
pasta machine.) Then cut pancakes into  1/2-inch squares. Set aside.
Mix sauce ingredients together & set  aside. Bring 4 to 5 cups of
lightly salted water to a boil in a large  pan, drop in pasta, & cook
over moderate heat for abt 10 mins, or  until tender but still al
dente. Drain well.  Serve pasta & dairy sauce separately. Each diner
fills his plate  w/pasta & spoons over as much sauce as wanted.
