A comprehensive guide to choosing, making, cooking and enjoying Italian pasta, featuring 150 classic and original recipes shown in 800 tempting photographs. From simple yet hearty soups to fresh and... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This has some of the simplest and yet most authentic and accurate recipes I've ever seen. Photography is great, most receipes have step by step photos, and instructions are remarkably simple and clear cut. I am an experienced italian cook and it has become my go-to reference for nearly all pasta dishes. Try the bucatini with pancetta and sausage; even if you use bacon instead, it's a huge family hit! I am buying 3 or 4 books as gifts, and one for my college son in his new apartment with a kitchen! Buy it!

I received this as a gift when I first began to cook. It is wonderful!! Receipes vary from easy to moderately difficult. There are clear instuctions and every dish has a picture. There are many dishes that I use as my "stand-by" receipes for guests because they are simple, able to be prepared ahead and delicious. I highly recommend this to all cooks who love easy and delicious Italian meals.
Just a great pasta cookbook!

True Italian!!!

I live in Italy, and the recipes in this book are true to the Italian cooking I've experienced. Most are easy and fast--meaning you can make the sauce as you boil the water and cook the pasta. Obviously, some recipes are more involved than that. Most of the ingredients required are fresh vegetables and cheeses--just as a true Italian would cook. I LOVE this book and always receive compliments on the meals I make from it!
