Food trends come and go, but pasta holds strong year after year. Despite its humble ingredients--made of merely flour and water or flour and eggs--the magic, rituals, and art of pa sta making span over five centuries. Two ingredients are turned into hundreds of stuffed, rolled, extruded, dried, stamped, and handcut shapes, each with its own unique provenance and enrobed in a favored sauce. New York City chef Missy Robbins fell in love with Italian food and pasta twenty-five years ago. She has been cooking, researching, and studying her way across Italy ever since, which led her to open two of America's favorite pasta restaurants, Lilia and Misi. With illustrated step-by-step recipes for handmaking forty of the most versatile pasta shapes and one hundred recipes for Italian-American, regional Italian (all regions), and Robbins' own best pasta dishes, plus two dozen vegetable sides, this is the hard-working manual for home cooks who aspire to master tha art of pasta cooking.
