Pasta served with a sauce is surely one of the most
popular fast foods enjoyed the world over. This
collection of recipes includes classics, plus some newer
ideas, all inspired by authentic Italian ingredients now
available all over the globe. Some sauces, such as
Foaming Sage Butter take no time to prepare and involve
little cooking. Others are richly flavoured but once
prepared in advance, can simply be reheated to serve.
Classic recipes here include Ragu Meat Sauce from
Bologna, plus Puttanesca, Carbonara and other familiar
favourites. Ideas for budget-friendly vegetable sauces
include a light and fresh Primavera; Roasted Aubergine
and Tomato; and Courgette, Mint, Lemon and Cream. Fish
and seafood options include Smoked Salmon, Creme Fraiche
and Dill; Baby Clam with Tarragon and Cherry Tomatoes;
and Monkfish with Olives and Capers. Rich and satisfying
recipes for meat and poultry sauces include Meatballs in
Tomato Sauce; and Herbed Chicken with Pancetta. Silky
sauces rich with cream, eggs and cheese are perfect for
occasional indulgence - try Ricotta, Cinnamon and
Walnuts; or Parma Ham and Rocket with Bubbling Blue
Cheese. Armed with a packet of dried pasta and this
invaluable recipe book, you'll never be short of
inspiration for a delicious and satisfying meal, whether
dining alone or feeding hungry friends and
family. |
