Good Eating's Creative Pasta: Healthy and Unique Recipes for Meals, Sides, and Saucesis a great collection of recipes and cooking tips compiled by the Chicago Tribune.  While there are a lot of recipe books out there that include a few recipes thrown together, this book is well organized and broad in scope.The book includes topics as varied as making your own sauce, homemade meatballs and hand-made pasta.  In addition to a very useful section on quick dinner recipes, there are large sections on comfort foods and variations on traditional themes.  Rather than stay to safe traditional recipes, they mix in a good blend of fusion cooking.For each recipe, key details are provided including ingredients, preparation times, cooking times and nutritional information.  All the information you need is at your fingertips.The book also contains a mix of tasteful high quality photographs.  And it draws on recipes from Tribune articles and other cookbooks.CONCLUSIONA lot of work clearly went into this book and it shows.  This is a concise and comprehensive cookbook.  All in all, this is a collection of the best pasta recipes out there.  I recommend it.
