Kasha and Bowties (Kasha Varnishkas)

By: Lobbylady 
"Kasha is actually buckwheat and is a whole grain. It is mixed with onions and egg noodles to make this very simple and traditional Western European side dish. It is a staple at our holiday table and delicious drenched in pot roast or turkey gravy."

Original Recipe Yield 2 quarts
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (13.75 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup kasha (toasted buckwheat groats)
  • 1 (12 ounce) package bow tie-shaped egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil with the kasha. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  2. Bring pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. Pour the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the oil until lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir the drained pasta and kasha into the onions, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
