Synopsis
The beloved doyennes of the Italian kitchen--whose two previous books won James Beard Awards--take us back to basics with this charming, recipe-filled tribute to pasta: "queen of the Italian table." Much more than a recipe book, "100 Ways to Be Pasta gives us a brief history of pasta as a cultural and dietary staple, and provides easy-to-follow instructions for the basic techniques of making and preparing glorious pasta variations. Wanda and Giovanna share secret tips from the masters, provide an extensive glossary (including every pasta name and shape imaginable), and serve up a generous helping of their own delightful anecdotes and wisdom--about cooking, about Italy, about entertaining, and about eating. The 100 recipes are redolent of the irresistible flavors of authentic Italian cooking: from the quick and easy Simple Midnight Spaghetti, to traditional pasta soups such as Milk Soup with Gnochetti, Potatoes, and Parmesan, to elaborate stuffed pastas such as Baked Timbale of Anelletti with Veal and Vegetables. Each recipe has come down to the Tornabenes through generations and has been lovingly perfected in the kitchen at Gangivecchio, the 13th-century Sicilian abbey they call home. A delectable, wonderfully inviting one-stop sourcebook for all things pasta., For us, pasta is more than just a food. It is part of our histories. It is a good friend, a member of the family. It is something we love . . . When Italians offer a plate of pasta to friends or strangers, we are opening the doors of our homes and welcoming them inside in the most generous way. It is in that spirit that my mamma and I, who have had the good fortune to be accompanied all our lives by this most versatile of foods, invite you through the tall, ancient wooden doors of Gangivecchio and offer up these recipes, these one hundred versions of the golden strands, the god, pasta, to you. So put the water on to boil. And buon appetito! Giovanna Tornabene, from her Introduction Welcome back to Gangivecchio, where Wanda and Giovanna Tornabene, two-time James Beard Award winners and beloved doyennes of the Italian kitchen, have served up another irresistible helping of charm, wit, and culinary wisdom from the kitchen of the thirteenth-century abbey they call home. This time around, the dynamic mother-daughter duo takes us back to Sicilian basics, in a recipe-filled compendium and heartfelt tribute to the "queen of the Italian table"pasta. In 100 Ways to Be Pasta the Tornabenes once again weave memoir and history together with the vivid flavors of local village life, bringing us a true taste of Sicilian culture and cuisine. They incorporate lessons from basic pasta-cooking techniques to secret tips from old masters, and include an extensive glossary of pasta vocabulary, a dictionary of pasta types, and of course a generous sprinkling of anecdotes and advice. All of this serves as a delightful setting for the one hundred authentic, mouth-watering recipes, lovingly honed and perfected in the old abbey kitchen. From quick, easy basics, like spaghetti with garlic, oil, and hot pepper or farfalle with peas and prosciutto, to traditional pasta soups like minestrone, to more elaborate baked and stuffed pastas like Baked Orecchiette with Lamb Ragù and Melted Mozzarella or Baked Timbale of Anelletti with Veal and Vegetables, each recipe serves up a little piece of Sicily for your very own kitchen. As informative and useful to the beginner as to the experienced Italian cook, 100 Ways to Be Pasta is a must-have and a treasure for any cookbook shelf., The beloved doyennes of the Italian kitchen share recipes and secret tips from the masters, provide an extensive glossary (including every pasta name and shape imaginable), and serve up a generous helping of their own delightful anecdotes and wisdom about cooking, Italy, entertaining, and eating.
