In my Eastern European home this dish is tops; especially when served with a slow roasted chicken. I add a drained can of mushrooms to this recipe...perfection!

I love to add an extra veggie like broccoli or something colorful... Otherwise this is just as I have made all of my life!!! Perfection, along with heathful!!! Kasha, or buckwheat, is a complete protein!!!

A great recipe, very easy if the family likes their kasha drier, like my DH does reduce the amount of broth by a smige or saute it longer by the way my DH said it was 90% like his grandmothers

This was my first experience with Kasha and I loved it! A very hearty and healthy dish. I used just one onion and added a can of mushrooms. Added a splash of dry white wine to the cooking onions and mushrooms. Used veggie broth instead of chicken. Tossed in some parsley. I'll make this again!

As a child of Ukrainian heritage, I grew up with kasha. And hated it. With a passion. As an adult I figured I'd give it another go, as it is so good for you. This recipe made me want to eat more. :) I substituted water for the chicken broth, as I'm vegetarian, and used blood orange olive oil. What a yummy dinner! I had two helpings!!

Yum! I didn't have a can of broth, so I used 1 3/4 c. broth from the box. 12 ounces of the pasta seemed like a bit too much; I cooked it all but probably only used 10 or 11 ounces. Saved a dish by sauteeing the onion in the same pot as I cooked the kasha in then mixing it all in that pot. Also added broccoli steamed in the microwave to make it a complete meal.

Excellent basic recipe! Traditionally, the onion is sauteed in chicken fat, but being vegetarian, I use EVOO like the recipe called for. Instead of chicken broth, I use a strong mushroom broth, and then toss a dozen sliced creminis in with the onions to sautee. Don't be shy with your broth and fat in this dish - it's where most of the flavor comes from. One note on the instructions: The way I was taught, you dry-roast the kasha in a hot pan for a few minutes, then bring water/broth to a boil BEFORE adding the kasha. This way it doesn't get mushy.

This is my first experience with Kasha and it was very tasty. I sauteed the kasha in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes before cooking (based on another eview's remark to keep it from getting mushy) I also used Swanson's Vegetarian Vegetable broth and whole wheat fusilli instead of egg bow ties. It was very good

I was raised on this and it has always been one of my favorite dishes. It is so tasty and healthy. I never keep canned broth in the house, so I use other forms of chicken broth.
