Publisher's Synopsis
Dear readers,
Pasta is the soul of Italian cuisine, a dish that for centuries has brought families together, celebrated special occasions, and brought joy even to the most ordinary days. This book stems from my passion for the culinary tradition of our country and the desire to share with you 75 recipes that tell the story of Italy, region by region, flavor by flavor.
Each recipe is designed to be simple, accessible, and foolproof because I believe that cooking should not be complicated but a rewarding experience for everyone, beginners and experts alike. Whether you're passionate about classic sauces like Amatriciana, devotees of the perfect Carbonara, lovers of homemade fresh pasta, or explorers of modern and creative flavors, here you'll find something that will win you over.
While writing this book, I wanted to include not only the techniques and ingredients but also the little secrets that make all the difference in cooking: freshly hand-torn basil, the choice of a good extra virgin olive oil, or the art of cooking pasta always al dente.
Italian cuisine is an invaluable heritage, and pasta is its beating heart. With this book, I hope to take you on a journey of authentic flavors, genuine ingredients, and a deep love for the table. Grab a pot, a pinch of curiosity, and let your palate guide you.
Happy cooking and, above all, buon appetito!
With affection,
Giorgio Sapori
