    Title: Poloni (Miniature Pasta Squares with Dairy Sauce)
    Categories: Asian, Pasta, Dairy, Sauces, Cheese
    Yield: 6 Servings

    MMMMM---------------------------PASTA--------------------------------
    2 c Flour
    1 Egg, beaten
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c Water

    MMMMM------------------------DAIRY SAUCE-----------------------------
    1/2 c Cottage cheese
    1/2 c Yoghurt
    1/4 ts Salt
    2 cl Garlic; pressed
    1 ts Fresh mint; chopped
    1 tb Fresh dill; chopped
    4 (to 5 c) water; salted light

    Tish-Ah B'Av & 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 B'Av 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.

    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.

    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.

    Mix sauce ingredients together & set aside.

    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.
