Add the hot stock and kritharaki and transfer to a buttered "yuvetsi" or
baking casserole. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Bake in a moderately hot oven for 40 minutes, or until the pasta is tender
and all liquid has been absorbed, stirring once. Remove from the oven.
Drape with a dry kitchen towel to absorb moisture. Serve hot, garnished
