Kasha varnishkes or kasha varnishkas is a traditional Jewish dish that combines kasha (buckwheat groats) with noodles, typically with Farfalle and usually flavored with fried onions and chicken or beef stock.[1]

[edit] Origins
Kasha varnishkes are believed to be from Eastern Europe. Ashkenazi Jews from the area brought the food to America and it is widely popular in the American Jewish community.[1]
The name "varnishkes" seems to be a Yiddish corruption of the Russian "varenichki", small stuffed dumplings. A recipe from 1925 shows kasha-filled dumplings, rather than the simpler kasha with farfalle.[2]
