My sister used to make this regularly, and I can tell you, it is just that
involved. The end product, to me, was so-so. It never seemed to be
al dente, though her cooking times were low.

I cannot imagine going through all that for pasta.

I might do it for some special, say, spinach or beet pasta. But probably
not as long as someone was selling it somewhere.
