This is really easy, quick and taaaaaaasty.  Serve with salad and a main dish like chicken or fish, or just eat it in a bowl as a meal!

1.  In a saucepan, saute a chopped onion in oil until translucent.

2.  While the onion is saute-ing, put a pot of water on to boil.  When the water boils, add two cups of dry bowtie pasta and cook until done.  Drain.

3.  Crack an egg into one cup of toasted buckwheat groats and mix until all of the groats are coated.

4.  Add the groats to the sauted onion and cook until dry, breaking up any clumps as you go.

5.  Add two cups of water (or broth) to the groats, turn down the heat, and simmer, covered, until all of the water is absorbed.  Add the bowties and salt and pepper to taste.

6.  Enjoy!
