Now, for the first time, she has compiled her decades of expertise into one authoritative volume: the definitive book on pasta.An utterly indispensable resource for every kitchen, Lidia’s The Art of Pasta is a one-stop guide to pasta in every form: from fresh to dried, from Old World classics like gnocchi and cacio e pepe to Italian American favorites like manicotti and lasagna Napoletana.Through more than a hundred simple, perfect recipes, Lidia showcases pastas of all kinds—stuffed, baked, and sauced; in soups and pasta salads; plus, of course, directions for making fresh pasta doughs and sauces at home. The one-stop guide to all things pasta, the book is filled with simple, authentic, flavor-forward Italian dishes that the whole family will love.
