"Spaghetti, gnocchi, tagliatellea, ravioli, vincisgrassi,
strascinati"--pasta in its myriad forms has been a staple of the
Mediterranean diet longer than bread. This beautiful volume is the
first book to provide a complete history of pasta in Italy, telling
its long story via the extravagant variety of shapes it takes and
the even greater abundance of names by which it is known. Food
scholar Oretta Zanini De Vita traveled to every corner of her
native Italy, recording oral histories, delving into long-forgotten
family cookbooks, and searching obscure archives to produce this
rich and uniquely personal compendium of historical and
geographical information. For each entry she includes the primary
ingredients, preparation techniques, variant names, and the
locality where it is made and eaten. Along the way, Zanini De Vita
debunks such culinary myths as Marco Polo's supposed role in
pasta's story even as she serves up a feast of new information.
"Encyclopedia of Pasta, " illustrated throughout with original
drawings by Luciana Marini, will be the standard reference on one
of the world's favorite foods for many years to come, engaging and
delighting both general readers and food professionals.

Even if you haven't landed one of the coveted internships in the
kitchen at the American Academy in Rome, you can have a
behind-the-scenes tutorial in the way that pastas and sauces are
made in its kitchen. The recipes in 'Pasta' are arranged in the
same order as the interns are taught to make them, from simple to
more complex, and are organized the way Italians think about pasta,
not only as fresh or dry but by the base of the sauces (oil,
tomato, meat, and vegetable).
This superb book is a comprehensive guide to choosing, making,
cooking and enjoying Italian pasta. It features 150 classic and
original recipes from simple yet robust soups to fresh and healthy
salads, and from rich and warming bakes and casseroles to
delicately stuffed pasta parcels. There is also a pictorial guide
to all the key ingredients. The recipe section is a triumphant
combination of classic regional dishes and original, contemporary
ideas, including shellfish lasagne, tortellini with ham, and
spaghetti with artichokes. This is a kitchen guide, sourcebook,
reference manual and recipe collection - a perfect resource for
every pasta-lover.
Learn how to make your own pasta. In A Passion for Pasta, everyone
can take a delicious trip down Italy, from top to toe, led by
'pasta queen' Carmela Sereno - your guide to making speciality
pasta dishes from each Italian region. With stunning photographs
throughout, these recipes include: * Mandilli di Seta, handkerchief
pasta with creamy pesto, from Liguria and the Italian Riviera.
Liguria's capital, Genoa, is birthplace of the well-known basil
pesto. * Orecchiete con cime di rape, which combines the speciality
pasta of Puglia, orecchiete (translated as 'little ears'), with the
humble turnip to produce a dish full of flavour and yet typical of
Puglia's unique style of cooking, cucina povera. * Ziti with
sardines, chicory and breadcrumbs. Ziti pasta come in many sizes
from the length of small maccheroni to that of spaghetti.
Originating from Sicily, this dish has strong Middle Eastern and
North African influences, acknowledging these two regions'
involvement in Sicilian history. Serano shows us how to make even
the most basic pasta dough into a variety of shapes and stunning
designs using stripes, spots and delicate herbs. Even those who are
already great pasta enthusiasts will be amazed at the range of
pasta explored in this book, with dishes selected to delight not
only with their exquisite taste but also by their beautiful and
varied appearance. From the 'Polenta Gnocchi' of the Aosta Valley
to Tuscany's 'Pancake Pasta', A Passion for Pasta has a dish for
