 Remove from heat and pour boiling chicken stock or water over

 bare simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is
 absorbed. Remove from heat and reserve.

 Bring the quart of water to a boil and cook the pasta about
 15 minutes, until tender. Drain and reserve.

 Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onions until golden brown.
 Mix the onions, kasha and cooked bowties together in a large bowl
 and serve. Serve with pot roast or just with leftover pot roast
 gravy.

 Advice:

 From Mama, for a more delicious and authentic version subsitute
 1/4 cup of schmaltz for the corn oil.
