Every conceivable type of pasta and noodle is described in the text and illustrated in the photographs.In addition to the comprehensive directory of dried noodles, pastas, gnocchi, and even dumplings - pasta secca - there are step-by-step instructions for making, cutting, and shaping fresh pastas - pasta fresca - at home.More than 150 recipes for soups and sauces, and pasta and noodle meals with cheese, vegetables, fish, meat, game, and poultry, and over 1,000 specially commissioned color photographs make it not only a valuable practical book for the kitchen but also a handsome gift for a friend or family member.
