Instructions
 

For the farfalle (bow-tie) pasta

  • Mix the flour and salt on a flat surface. Make a well in centre and crack the eggs in it.
  • Use the fork to beat the eggs and incorporate the flour little by little in the eggs to form a soft dough.
  • Take the dough out on a floured surface and knead it by folding and pushing with the heel of your palm until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Cut the dough into half. Cover one half with a moist cloth.
  • Roll the other half with rolling pin into a very thin sheet.
  • With knife/pizza cutter cut it into rectangular strips.
  • Pinch the individual strips in the middle to form a bow and place them on a floured surface.
  • Bring a large pan of water to a boil over high flame.
  • Add the pasta to boiling water.
  • Fresh pasta cooks really fast in about 3 minutes and rises to the surface.
  • Drain the water.

For the Sauce

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion puree and sauté for 3-4 minutes.

  • Then add yogurt and cook till the oil separates from the gravy
  • Add farfalle pasta and cook till the sauce coats the pasta (about 5 minutes).

  • You can sprinkle with cheese of your choice before serving.
