POLONI (Miniature Pasta Squares w/Dairy Sauce)
Tish-Ah BAv & 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 BAv 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.
