This book is typical of others published by DK, who also publish wonderful travel guides. It is a feast for the eyes, filled with beautiful pictures and detailed explanations. The recipes are divided into sections with the primary ingredient (cheese, meat, garlic, tomato) and classify according to cooking time (no cook, quick cook, slow cook), so it is very easy to narrow down dinner options based on what you have on hand and how much time you have. I've tried about a dozen recipes from the book and they have all been delicious and turned out almost as beautiful as the picture in the book.

I'm a good cook, and love to make more complex meals, but this book has basic great recipes - - while some are more complex, this is the best pasta book I've seen that can point you to ingredients you likely already have in your pantry, and help you to whip up something wonderful. Haven't been disappointed in a recipe yet, and have bought this book for a few friends who are still in the beginner to intermediate stages of loving to cook, and they all love it. Bottom line is that the recipes are great.

Great photos and commentary on cooking pasta. It has now become a reference book as we add/remove ingredients from the recipes to create our own dishes.
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2004
The Italians, who are masters at combining sophistication with simplicity, have eaten pasta for the past millennium or so. They know that no other food can nourish and delight so easily, while asking for so small and effort on the part of the cook. Simple, yet sustaining, a dish of pasta satisfies our hunger yet invites the eye and pleases the palate with its countless shapes, colors, and flavors. ~Anna Del Conte & Eric Treuille
Eric Treuille has been in love with cooking since he worked in his uncle's boulangerie in France. He has worked as a chef in Paris, London and New York. Here he presents the ten commandments for pasta making, tools of the trade, pasta varieties, cooking secrets, classic sauces such as pesto and essential pantry items for busy cooks.
Recipes:
Pasta with Tomatoes - Red Pesto, Tomato and Mozzarella Al Forno
Pasta with Butter and Cheese - Butter and Parmesan, Lemon, Basil, and Mascarpone
Pasta with Mushrooms- Mushroom, White Wine and Cream
Pasta with Seafood- Shrimp with Lemon and Basil, Smoked Salmon with White Wine, Cream, and Chives
Pasta with Meat - Crispy Pancetta and Scallions, Classic Bolognese, Classic Lasagne
Pasta with Olives and Olive Oil- Spicy Lemon Olive, Chili Olive Pesto
Pasta with Greens and Herbs - Basil Pesto with Variations, Sizzling Sage Butter, Spinach Lasagne
Pasta with Beans and Lentils - Braised Umbrian Lentils
Pasta with Garlic- Golden Garlic and Onion, Roasted Garlic and Cherry Tomatoes
Pasta with Peppers and Eggplant- Roasted Pepper Pasta, Red Pepper Pesto
Fresh and Filled Pasta - Fresh Egg Pasta, Porcini Mushroom Filling
After reading this book you will know why it is important to buy the highest quality pasta you can find, why a heavy-bottomed deep pot is best for slow cooked sauces, and how you can serve pasta in an authentic fashion.
At the start of Pasta, you will find page after page of pictures and pasta descriptions. Fettuccine, Tagliolini, Bucatini, Chifferi, and many others make their appearance. At the end of the book, there are sections for what to keep in the refrigerator, freezer and cupboard. The Pasta Planner section lists pasta according to Make Ahead, No Cook, Quick Cook, Slow Cook, and Al Forno.
The Pasta on the Menu section gives ideas for Pasta Parties, Pasta to Impress, Summer Weekend Pasta and more. There are notes about using Tipo 00 flour and there are four mail order sources at the end of the book. May I also suggest Zingermans online for pasta and cheese. King Arthur Flour might also be a great source for supplies and bowls.
The end of the book shows all the top skills in brilliant color. Learn to peel tomatoes, soak dried mushrooms, peel garlic cloves, chop onions, peel peppers and finely chop garlic.
The recipes all have short lists of ingredients which makes this book perfect for new cooks. A few recipes require you to make a separate sauce ingredient, but most of the recipes include the sauce ingredients along with the instructions for how to cook the pasta.
The Crispy Pancetta and Scallions Recipe has the following ingredients:
8 pancetta or bacon slices
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 scallions, sliced
1 lb dried pasta
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
salt, black pepper
additional freshly grated Parmesan to serve
The recipe instructions are very simple and there are additional notes about which pasta you could use. You might want to use penne, rigatoni, gnocchi, or conchiglie. A "Cook's Note" concludes each recipe and at times will include a tip or a note about the ingredients.
If you know anyone who loves pasta and you want to buy them an amazing gift, this is the book. However, if you only buy one and send it to yourself, I can almost guarantee you will keep this book because it is that interesting. So, you might want to purchase two!
We just visited a magical Italian restaurant and suddenly I wanted to make pasta again. As I look through this book I am remembering the candlelight and the tiramisu.

I love this book: love the way it's organized, love the photos, love the advice, love the recipes. This book is simple and it offers easy -- but delicious -- recipes organized into seven or eight basic categories such as Pasta with Tomatoes, Pasta with Butter and Cheese; Pasta with Seafoods, and so on. Usually when I want to make pasta, I look to see what ingredients I have on hand (chard, say) and then I find a recipe in the appropriate section of this book, which in this case would be the Pasta with Greens and Herbs section.
Sometimes I do the opposite: I look at a section and decide to make a recipe from it, and sometimes that requires going out to buy ingredients, such as buying chicken livers in order to make the Venetian-Style Chicken Liver pasta (which, by the way, is delicious).
I've made most of the recipes in this book more than once, and so far I've never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

Accessible and varied recipes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2019Verified Purchase
For under £3 as a used book in very good condition what is to be negative about? This has well illustrated, easy to follow recipes, divided into ingredient categories. Every recipe suggests the pasta/s most appropriate for each dish. There are also tips on 'prepare ahead'/ 'freezer' options which are most helpful. Other planning and preparation tips are also included. I've been cooking for a long time but find it a good reference. It would be a great gift for a student accompanied with a hamper of dried pasta and cupboard ingredients.

This is a colourful and well organised book. The recipes are simple and authentic, easy to follow, including a number of non-cook additions to the pasta. This is simple fresh Italian food, no fuss, no pretence, just lots of great ideas for pasta. I've been cooking two a week since I bought this book!
