I originally got this recipe from here: http://homecooking.about.com/od/pastarecipes/r/blpasta3.htm and then changed it to no meat parve. I used to eat this growing up with the original meat version.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

* 1 cup kasha buckwheat groats, medium granulation
* 1 egg, well beaten
* 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
* 2 cups water
* 1 cup chopped mushrooms
* 1 vegetable bullion cube
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* 1 cup pasta bow ties

Preparation:
In a small bowl, mix the kasha with the beaten egg. Be sure all the grains are covered with egg. Place a medium non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the kasha to the pan and, using a wooden fork, flatten it out a bit, stirring and moving it about the pan until the egg dries and the grains have mostly separated. Set aside.

Place a pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta bow ties. (Do not cook them yet.)

In a 4-quart heavy stove-top covered casserole, heat the oil and saute the onions and mushrooms until clear. Add the water with the bullion cube and bring to a boil. Add the salt and pepper and the reserved kasha. Stir a bit and cover. Cook over low heat, stirring now and then, until the kasha is tender, about 10 minutes. If it is not done to your taste, cook for a few more minutes.

In the meantime, boil the pasta just until tender. Drain well and stir into the kasha.

Serve hot.

Yield: 4 servings as a starch dish
