This chapter is all about bringing life to all that is asleep and hard as nails in your pantry or storecupboard. You’ll find a lot of pasta and noodle dishes here, but I have not included anything that requires you to flex your culinary muscles too much. These are the dishes for the days when life is hectic and you need something tasty and sustaining on the table in a flash, without the need for forward planning or mastery of technique.
Despite the ease with which recipes can be thrown together, these are real crowd-pleasers, especially among the younger members of the household who, in general, I have found to have an insatiable appetite for comforting pasta and slippery noodles. I am grateful to Italy and Korea for this, which, after India, are my other culinary homelands.
