I say go for it. Although not my style, I would definitely love the leftovers for my lunches!

I had a good friend in college that grew up in a big (but not huge) Italian family. I loved going to his house for dinner because there would be about 3 entrees and a huge bowl of pasta on the table for about 7 people. This was normal for them. It was unusual to me then, but it made an impression on me, thinking how wonderful it must have been to have such a nice spread for dinner every night. Now, looking back, I just wonder how his mother had the time. And the whole family was surprisingly thin too!
