Method
Knead the flour with water and salt into a dough.
Spread out the tablecloth, put the senit (a footed oval wooden board) on it, and sprinkle flour on both the cloth and the senit.
Pinch off a piece of dough and roll it by hand on the senit into a cylinder; as the cylinders get thinner and shorter, down to pasta size, empty them onto the cloth.
Chop the onion finely and fry it in the butter.
Add the pastes and fry a little longer.
Add water until the consistency lies between that of a soup and a main dish.
When the water boils, add the pasta, cook for 15 minutes and serve hot.
