Try this twist on kasha varnishkes, a classic Jewish dish made with kasha (buckwheat groats), a staple food for Eastern European Jews. Here, farro is used in place of kasha, while orecchiette takes the place of the traditional bow-tie pasta and olive oil stands in for schmaltz.

Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until the water is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound orecchiette as directed; drain. Brown 3 tablespoons butter; toss with the pasta and farro (or toss with walnut oil). Season with salt.
