I have a pasta maker attachment for my stand mixer, and it makes it surprisingly easy to make fresh pasta. So I'll knead together some semolina, egg, and warm water until I get a nice dough (using the stand mixer, of course), then feed it through the pasta maker attachment to make fettuccine. Boil and make a simple sauce with browned butter, pasta water, a splash of heavy cream, a spoonful of whole grain mustard, a spoonful of garlic paste, then topped with some freshly grated pecorino and a drizzle of olive oil.
Sounds fancy, and it does take a bit more time to make the pasta from scratch, but it's not hard at all and it's ludicrously delicious. Plus, 99% of people are impressed by even the idea of fresh pasta.
If I'm going for "easy" as in "fast", too, I'll use a package of storebought gnocchi and chop in a zucchini instead.
