Everyday Pasta

I bought this book about a year ago, and have browsed through it and used it so much that the book is literally falling apart. Giada's Italian recipes are by far the best of any Italian cookbook I've ever had. Most are fairly practical, and almost all are delicious. I highly recommend "Everyday Pasta" and any other Giada cookbook.

I'm going to buy a new copy before my old book is completely worn out.

This book is great for the pasta lover- it has recipes for those who want to introduce interesting ingredients into their cooking.

If you've ever wondered why Italians love pasta and serve it so frequently, best-selling author Giana De Laurentiis makes the reasons very clear here. There are light recipies, hearty recipies, traditional and creative ones, and a selection of complementary dishes to serve as well. What a treat! The photos and tips add to the useful ideas, as does the brief section on Italian wines, the suggested menus, and the index.

This book has wonderful recipes. The only downfall is they are not quick and easy. Lots of ingredients and time are needed.

The cover is nice - and the recipes look delicious, but still no pasta ona da table.
