Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Pasta machines are popular with busy, affluent and health-conscious Americans who like the machine's speed and flexibility -- and its incredibly fresh pasta. The Best Pasta Machine Cookbook Ever expands the run-of-the-mill repertoire of pastas, going far beyond the flour-and-egg variety.

The list of pasta recipes, with accompanying sauces for each, is extensive and imaginative. The recipes range from Basic Wheat Pasta, Egg Pasta and Spinach Pasta to the not-so-ordinary Lemon, Squid Ink, Beet, Carrot, Scallion, Chinese Egg Noodles and Chocolate. A sampling of the sauces includes Classic Pesto Sauce, Dilled Swedish Meatball Sauce, "New Wave" Turkey Chili Sauce, Sorrel Cream Sauce, Bacon and Arugula Sauce, Roasted Garlic and Mussel Cream, Cheddar and Ale Sauce, Red Flannel Hash Sauce and Lemon-Sage. Organized according to pasta type, this book is an essential companion for the hot-selling pasta maker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook with lots of helpful hints, May 30, 2009
This review is from: The Best Pasta Machine Cookbook Ever (Hardcover)
I have both a crank pasta machine and an automatic pasta machine. This is the only cookbook for a novice that explains the best of both types of machine with recipes for both. Good buy!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best Pasta Machine Cookbook Ever (Hardcover)
This is a truly amazing book, so many recipes for making your own pasta in a pasta machine.
I had a pasta machine given to me, but no instruction booklet with it and this cookbook is
a great find.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not educational, February 13, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best Pasta Machine Cookbook Ever (Hardcover)
This book has some fairly decent recipes, but I was looking for a book with instruction on pasta machines. There was nothing useful. FAR from being "the best".
