 One of my favorites! November 24, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is such a great book! I'm a huge pasta lover, and I love trying new and interesting recipes. This book has a wide array of options. I've tried a handful already and can't wait to try more. There are lots of recipes with very few, simple ingredients, and yet the results are incredible. You can make a lot of them with things you already have in your pantry. And of course, if you want to you can go buy a few more and try something entirely different. Definitely pick up this book if you want easy and fast ideas for pasta that will taste like you're eating at a restaurant.

This book from owners of the Al Forno Restaurant in Providence, is a must for pasta lovers. Recipes are straight forward and easy to prepare. Ingredients are listed in shadow boxes and each recipe is prefaced with anecdotes, explanations and other comments that make it seem the authors are talking to you in your kitchen. There are sections on preparing pasta with various ingredients, such as with seafood, vegetables, and various meats. This book truly does cover all you ever need to know about pasta.

I saw the authers Johanne Killeen and George Germon on the Food network Emeril Lagasse live show. They made some dishes it looked so good I order the book. I had a question and wrote the author they quickly returned with the answer. I have made several of their recipes and they came out GREAT. Everyone enjoyed it. I highly recommed this book.
 Never Received the Book September 12, 2007

I never received the book. I was tracking it with the courier...it was destined for the correct address, but was sent back to you as undeliverable. My debit card was credited with the purchase....small consolation. In the future I will try to find my purchases elsewhere.

Great Cookbook June 13, 2007
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
In spite of what I consider to be an unfortunate name, this is truly a great cookbook. The recipes are simple and fast, yet sophisticated and delicious. Nearly every recipe appeals to me as something I would want to make and eat. I have made four of the recipes and loved each one: penne with easy norma (eggplant cooked until nearly melted), spaghetti with fresh spinach and gorgonzola, orichiette with chickpeas, and linguine with bitter greens and pancetta. So far my favorite has been the linguine with bitter greens and pancetta. From my name you must know that I have an over-abundance of cookbooks but if I had to choose 10 to keep this would be one. Why do I say the title is unfortunate? Because when I think of a sauce "on top of" spaghetti I think of the tendency in this country to load a bunch of sauce of top of spaghetti. However in the cookbook, the authors take the Italian approach of incorporating the sauce into the pasta and if some of the recipes are not truly Italian they are all in the spirit of true Italian pasta. Each of the recipes I have tried so far reminded me of pasta I have eaten and loved in Italy. Oh and one more thing - the authors use fats judiciously so that while the recipes are delicious you will find that you will not be consuming an entire days calories in one serving of pasta.
