Pasta

In a pot of bubbling boiling water,
I drop hard nine inches long bundle of farfelles..

Minutes passed,between my fingertips,
I pressed one strand, al- dente!

In a platter glittering white,
I form a fist of fresh-cooked pasta noodles,

pouring a hot scoop of white
creamy silky sauce made from:

parmesan and pecorino
melted, blended in a saucepan,

flavored more with a savory stock,
tossed of shallots, saffron and lean meat.

The sauce must be rich enough
coating all the threads of farfelles…

Garnishing it with grated cheese,
teaspoonful crunchy diced bacon,

a pinch of chopped flat leaf parsley…
Voila! Who could refuse this tasty fork of heaven?
