Pasta: 50 Easy Recipes

Enjoy Pasta - 50 traditional recipes featuring the pride and joy of Italy. This noodle-shaped cookbook traces the origin of pasta back to Etruscan times and its development in diverse ways across the length and width of Italy, with the first dry pasta production recorded in the Middle Ages. Pasta has also been closely linked with the Barilla Company, beginning in 1553 when Ovidius Barilla gained fame as the “Master of the White Art” in the city of Parma and later in 1877 when Pietro set up shop, selling pasta and bread. It was in Italy that pasta production became a real art.
