The Book of Pasta

For anyone who considers pasta a personality trait. The Book of Pasta is a 150-recipe master class from Barilla's test kitchen, covering everything from lightning-fast weeknight bowls to big weekend feasts. Expect classics (rigatoni all’amatriciana, spaghetti ai frutti di mare), vegetable-forward beauties, regional favorites, and a few delightful curveballs (Papiri with Prosecco and oysters? Yes, please). With options for every diet and every level of effort, plus punchy essays on pasta history, technique, and culture, this is an extremely good-looking ode to Italy’s most iconic carb.
