For those who think homemade pasta is a burden, take a look at this.  It’s monday night.  I just came home from work.  There are four things in my kitchen that will make a meal tonight with very little work.  They are:  malfatti, which means badly cut pasta but in fact are leftover cuttings from another pasta; duck sauce, frozen and saved from a previous sauce making day; parmegiano, always in my refrigerator; and wine, also a staple.  My friend and I are enjoying a wonderful afterwork dinner that took less than 30 minutes to pull together.

I hope you will begin to enjoy the fruits of your pasta and sauce making labors!  Bon appetito.
