      Yield: 6 Servings

      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

  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 minutes, 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.
