My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Caldesi’s have done it again–another fantastic cookbook, this time celebrating that classic Italian food, PASTA!! From making your own fresh pasta, to delicious pasta dishes, you can find it all here.

I love, love, LOVE a simple pasta dish. Cacio e Pep (Cheese and Pepper Pasta) is a favorite of mine, and is so easy to make. Four ingredients (not counting the water or salt for cooking the pasta in) come together to form a delightful dish. Another quick, easy dish is the Pasta with Raw Sauce. Cooked pasta is tossed with halved cherry tomatoes, capers, olives, chilli, mozzarella and oil to form a dish that just screams summer!

This book is full of flavor packed sauces from a simple passata to pestos, butters and rich ragus. Everything from rich, warming dishes for winter to light, fresh flavors for summer, it is all captured in this book. Once again, the Caldesi’s have produced a cookbook that I plan to cook from for years to come.

I received a copy of this book from Chronicle Books for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
