100 Ways to Be Pasta: Perfect Pasta Recipes from Gangivecchio
by Giovanna Tornabene & Wanda Tornabene

The beloved doyennes of the Italian kitchen--whose two previous books won James Beard Awards--take us back to basics with this charming, recipe-filled tribute to pasta: "queen of the Italian table." Much more than a recipe book, 100 Ways to Be Pasta gives us a brief history of pasta as a cultural and dietary staple, and provides easy-to-follow instructions for the basic techniques of making and preparing glorious pasta variations. Wanda and Giovanna share secret tips from the masters, provide an extensive glossary (including every pasta name and shape imaginable), and serve up a generous helping of their own delightful anecdotes and wisdom--about cooking, about Italy, about entertaining, and about eating.

The 100 recipes are redolent of the irresistible flavors of authentic Italian cooking: from the quick and easy Simple Midnight Spaghetti, to traditional pasta soups such as Milk Soup with Gnochetti, Potatoes, and Parmesan, to elaborate stuffed pastas such as Baked Timbale of Anelletti with Veal and Vegetables. Each recipe has come down to the Tornabenes through generations and has been lovingly perfected in the kitchen at Gangivecchio, the 13th-century Sicilian abbey they call home. A delectable, wonderfully inviting one-stop sourcebook for all things pasta.
