Title: Poloni (Miniature Pasta Squares with Dairy Sauce)
Categories: Asian, Pasta, Dairy, Sauces, Cheese
Yield: 6 Servings
MMMMM---------------------------PASTA--------------------------------
2 c Flour
1 Egg, beaten
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Water
MMMMM------------------------DAIRY SAUCE-----------------------------
1/2 c Cottage cheese
1/2 c Yoghurt
1/4 ts Salt
2 cl Garlic; pressed
1 ts Fresh mint; chopped
1 tb Fresh dill; chopped
4 (to 5 c) water; salted light
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.
