The best little pasta book

This is absolutely the best pasta book I have ever found. I do a lot of cooking and like to experiment with different recipes. This book is invaluable whether you are an experienced cook or a beginner. There are wonderful photos of the finished dish as well as step by step photos. It also contains descriptions of the various types of pasta and sauces which pair well with each type. The instructions are clear and easy to understand and give reasons why you do things a certain way or why certain ingredients are used. This would make an excellent gift for a pasta lover or cook.

Perhaps not the quickest, but certainly some of the best!

Well, they generally take quite a few minutes more than the five that is promised, but they're also worth it. These recipies are healthy and, better yet, very flavorful. The instructions are straightforward, and the pictures of the finished product are definitely motivating! We're a busy, time-pressed and fairly fussy NYC couple who would much rather order takeout than boil water. But nevertheless, this book gets used quite a lot. We think that's saying something.
