Pasta by Hand

by Jenn Louis

This book features 80 recipes for making - by hand - a specific genre of pasta: small shapes and dumplings, as well as the sauces that pair with them. With more than 40 photographs of plated food and process, headnotes that highlight the regional identities of the pastas, and a lay-flat binding that's so useful in the kitchen, this is the handmade pasta manual that requires no special equipment for avid home cooks and tacklers of weekend cooking projects.
