    Book SynopsisAt last, a cookbook about pasta-making that covers all kinds of pasta machines and that delivers foolproof recipes sure to make you an expert noodle master in no time!Homemade pasta is easy, fast, and fun. It tastes better than boxed pastas from the store. And, while store-bought pastas do indeed come in a variety of shapes, they all have basically one bland and unexciting flavor; by contrast, as this wide-ranging and deliciously inventive book shows, making pasta by hand at home lets you create and enjoy dozens and dozens of different flavors of noodles. In her previous books—on such subjects as searing, marinating, and cast-iron cooking—chef, cooking teacher, and food blogger Lucy Vaserfirer has earned a reputation for expertly and gently translating the methods of master chefs into simple-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that let home cooks cook like the pros. Here, Lucy does the same for pasta-making, showing you how easy it is to use the three main types of pasta machine—the sheeter, the extruder, and the cavatelli maker—to create tasty pastas that will please everyone from grown-up gourmands to picky kids who want pasta at nearly every meal. Lucy shares in these pages: Terrific purees that you can make, using a blender or a mixing bowl, that you then can turn into all sorts of flavored pastas, from the familiar tomato or spinach pastas to noodles flavored with herbs like basil or chives, spices like pepper or saffron, and other flavors, such as beet, sweet potato, corn, and even, surprisingly enough, chocolate. How to make every kind of pasta shape with your pasta machine, including ones you can’t find in stores. Recipes for durum and semolina pastas, the most common kinds, as well as buckwheat and ancient-grain pastas. How to make Asian noodles, such as udon, soba, and ramen, with your pasta machine. Recipes for fillings for ravioli, tortellini, and other stuffed pastas, as well as a feast of sauces for finished pasta dishes. Whether you are a first-time owner of a pasta maker or a seasoned pro looking for exciting new ideas, this book has more than 100 splendid recipes, plus loads of clever tips and tricks, that will make you love your pasta machine and use it often.

It has been the food of peasants, the pride of royalty and a culinary badge of honour for Italian emigrants all over the world. It's hard to imagine Italy without pasta, yet the history of the country's most famous food has changed with the fortunes of eaters and cooks alike. In A Brief History of Pasta, discover the humble origins of fettuccine Alfredo that lie in a back-street trattoria in Rome, how Genovese sauce became a Neapolitan staple and what conveyor belts have to do with serving spaghetti. Meet the people who have shaped pasta's history, from the traders who brought pesto to the world to the celebrity chef who sparked national outrage by adding an unpeeled garlic clove to his recipe for amatriciana sauce. Renowned culinary historian Luca Cesari delves into the fascinating variety of his country's best-loved food, serving up the secrets behind the creamiest carbonara, the richest ragù alla Bolognese and the tastiest tortellini.Trade ReviewCesari chases the origins of pasta dishes back in time like a spaghetti detective ... If you're really interested in pasta, you should buy this book. * Daily Telegraph *Rewarding ... you discover a lot about Italy here ... huge fun * Sunday Times *Who knew that the history of pasta is as twisty as fusilli and as tangled as tagliatelle?

I discovered this fact, and about a thousand others, in Cesari's new book, A Brief History of Pasta, which, attentive as it is to origin stories, and thus to basics, could not make for more suitable reading right now if it tried. -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *A glorious book, carefully and precisely skewering all of the received ideas about 'authenticity' ... It made me giggle fiendishly and occasionally punch the air -- Annie Gray, author * At Christmas We Feast *Luca Cesari serves up a delicious combination of recipes, both ancient and modern, entertaining anecdotes, and rare insights into the diverse histories and characters of Italy's different regions.
