Pasta Recipes for Every Occasion
Pasta is the ultimate weeknight shortcut — most dishes come together in the time it takes to boil water and cook the pasta. The collection covers Roman classics (carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana) made the traditional way without shortcuts that compromise the result, as well as quicker modern dishes and baked pasta recipes for when you have more time. Each recipe specifies which pasta shape to use and why — because shape matters more than most people realise. Al dente timings, sauce consistency, and pasta water usage are all covered in the step-by-step instructions.
