Instructions: Bring the stock to a boil over moderate heat and add the quadrucci and saffron. Simmer for 1 minute for fresh quadrucci, or according to the package directions for dried. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve garnished with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese.

Serves 4 to 6.

Quadrucci means "little squares" in Italian, and thats exactly what you get when you slice fresh tagliatelle or fettuccine crosswise into little squares. You may substitute dried quadrucci or any other small pasta shape.
