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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Mix sauce ingredients together & set aside.
4. 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.
