Synopsis

Pasta continues to enjoy great popularity. It is the ideal after-work food - quick to cook and incredibly versatile. In this cookbook, Judy Ridgway presents over 100 quick-to-prepare pasta sauces with traditional Italian recipes as well as other ideas gathered from around the world. Certain pasta types and shapes are suited to particular sauces. To help you match pasta and sauce easily, the book is organized by pasta type. For example, light oil-based sauces marry beautifully with long round pastas like spaghetti - try Italian green herb sauce with vermicelli. All the recipes are quick to prepare, but the book includes a special chapter on sauces that can literally be thrown together in minutes, often from store-cupboard ingredients.
