Marlena Spieler shows how pasta can accommodate any level of cooking skill, any budget, any flavour or theme. It can be sweet or savoury, hot or cold, soup or salad, as long as you have the right collection of mouth-watering recipes to put those possibilities into practice. The recipes range from the exotic - spinach filled cannelloni with ligurian walnut sauce - to the simple - lemony spaghetti with black olives and basil - all with rich Mediterranean flavours. This is complemented by a little of the history behind the world's most popular food.

Packed with appetizing photos and dishes,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pasta (Hardcover)
With all the pasta books in print you'd think Pasta wouldn't be able to contribute many more new recipes; but Marlena Spieler's title is a winning blend of old and new pasta traditions. From Linguine with Tuna and Lemon to Spaghetti with Spinach, Lemon and Panccetta, Pasta is packed with appetizing photos and dishes to spark renewed interest in an old topic.
