"This is a collection of recipes designed to promote knowledge and enjoyment of pasta, yet also to guide people in the discovery of this genuine pleasure through authentic Italian recipes enriched with ideas to suit local tastes no matter where you live-- because everyone loves pasta, and because pasta can be adapted to everyone's taste"--Page [4] of cover.

"Smooth or ribbed, long or short, pasta is a "machine" designed to "capture" the sauce, to hold it, to transport it in the proper quantity to the mouth, to define the flavor of the recipe. The ribbings increase the surface area, to extend the staying power of the sour or sweet notes of the various seasonings; the loops catch small fragments of flavor; the spirals withhold and amplify the density of sauces. Pasta was created as a carrier of sauces, and there are no limits to it in this marvelous vocation. And Italian gastronomic tradition, so widely varied in its regional and territorial products, offers an extraordinary wealth of combinations, worthy of being proposed a new for an international audience, to respond to the hasty and quotidian repetitiveness resulting in unchanging cuisine. Thus was born the idea for a new book on pasta, the fruit of Academia Barilla's gastronomic experience and of Barilla Pasta's centuries-old technological competencies, to promote knowledge about pasta, the extraordinary variety, combining them in simple and varied preparations, each one tested and experimented with by the chefs at Academia Barilla in Parma, Italy. The physical characteristics of pasta types, origins of their names and brief historical annotations, ideal combinations with sauces and seasonings; and traditional recipes from Italian gastronomy, splendidly illustrated. Discover how much originality -- and taste -- is hidden behind a plate of pasta"--Provided by publisher.
