  Three onions,
  Two red peppers,
  Two leeks.

Place four tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan and when hot add the vegetables.  Cook slowly until soft and then add the noodles.  Toss constantly until a light brown and then pile in the centre of a large platter.  Lay a goulash around for a border.  Pour the gravy over all and then garnish with two tablespoons of grated cheese and serve.

BOILED HOMINY—­CHEESE SAUCE

Soak large hominy over night and then in the morning wash and cook in plenty of boiling water until tender.  Drain well and place in a baking dish and cover with cheese sauce, made as follows: 

Place one and one-half cups of milk in a saucepan and add two tablespoons of grated onion and four level tablespoons of cornstarch.  Dissolve the starch in the milk and bring to a boil.  Cook slowly for five minutes and then add

  Two tablespoons of chopped parsley,
  Two teaspoons of salt,
  Two ounces of cheese,
  One teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce,
  One teaspoon of paprika.

Mix thoroughly and then heat until the cheese melts.  Serve as vegetable.

MACARONI AND CHEESE

Cook one package of macaroni in a large kettle of boiling water for twenty minutes and then drain and pour over the macaroni a pan of cold water.  Drain again.  Now return to the kettle and add

  One-half can of tomatoes,
  Two teaspoons of salt,
  One and one-half teaspoons of paprika,
  One-fourth pound of cheese, cut in small pieces,
  Eight tablespoons of flour dissolved in
  One-half cup of water,
  Four onions, chopped fine.

Bring to a boil and cook slowly for ten minutes.

TO MAKE NOODLES

Break into a mixing bowl one egg and then add

  Three tablespoons of water,
  One-half teaspoon of salt,
  Pinch of pepper.

Beat to mix and then add sufficient flour to make a stiff dough.  Knead for five minutes and then cover and let stand for ten minutes.  Now roll out on a floured pastry board until thin as paper.  Roll as for jelly and then cut into thin strips with a sharp knife.  Spread out to dry for one-half hour.

GNOCCHI DI LEMOLINA

Place one cup of water and one cup of milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Add slowly seven tablespoons wheat cereal.  Cook for ten minutes and stir constantly.  Now add

  One well-beaten egg. 
  One-half teaspoon of salt.

Beat well to mix and then pour into loaf-shaped pan to mould.  When firm turn out on the moulding board and cut into blocks.  Place in a well-greased baking dish; sprinkle with grated cheese and dot tiny bits of butter.  Bake in a hot oven until the cheese forms a light brown crust.  Serve with tomato sauce.
