Put the mixture into a bowl and add 150 grams of the cornstarch. Add salt and pepper to taste.

n a separate bowl beat the egg white until it becomes stiff and fold it into the mix. You'll see that it doesn't become a dough, but remains sticky. That's how it is supposed to be, don't worry! If you add any more cornstarch, they'll come out chewy and firm.

Dust the remaining cornstarch over a clean surface and put water to boil. With a tablespoon grab small amounts of the mixture, drop over the flour and roll so that they dont stick to your fingers. They should be shaped into logs.

Start off by mincing the onion and sauteing it in a pan with some olive oil. Don't let it get too golden or burnt. After a few minutes add the butter, rosemary, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Optional: add a little white wine or more butter if desired.
