From doughs and shapes to fillings and sauces, this "new essential" (Food & Wine) is the simplest guide to making fresh pasta at home from the creator of Pasta Social Club, full of easier-than-you-think techniques and spectacularly beautiful results.
Pasta just might be the perfect comfort food. Endlessly reinventable, it is a canvas for delicious dreams. And it’s well within your reach to make at home, anytime.
It can be super simple, like pici in butter: a revelation made from scratch with just four ingredients. Or it can be incredibly special: agnolotti stuffed with braised shallots and Grana Padano, each parcel a gleaming little gift.
In Pasta Every Day, Meryl Feinstein has created the world’s easiest-to-follow guide to making pasta doughs, shapes, fillings, and sauces. A celebrated pasta instructor, professional pasta maker, and founder of Pasta Social Club, she has years of experience helping thousands of cooks bring the pleasure of fresh pasta home.
Step-by-step photos and videos (accessible via QR code) illustrate how to make every shape, eliminating the intimidation surrounding this centuries-old craft. And because Meryl knows just what you need to achieve success, she shows how to recover when something goes wrong and how to make your dishes look as good as they taste. Plus, she shares dozens of sauces to take all kinds of pasta to the next level—including the dry stuff from a box.
Combinations include:
Winter Squash & Brown Butter Ravioli
Cavatelli with Fiery Calabrian Chili Sauce
Ricotta Gnocchi with Citrus & Pistachio Pesto
Tagliatelle with "Casual Bolognese"
Caramelle with Golden Saffron Sauce, and more
