This volume presents a glorious collection of 140 classic and contemporary recipes that make the most of this universally popular food in all its variety of shapes, sizes and different flavorings.

As well as containing recipes found all over Italy you can also discover Sicilian and Sardinian specialities, as well as Asian noodle dishes from China, Indonesia and Thailand.

With this book you can learn how to make filling soups, quick and easy sauces for a midweek meal or a delicious feast for guests, using just a few fresh ingredients or store-cupboard items. There is also inspiration for more elaborate dishes for entertaining in the chapter on Special Occasions, as many of the baked dishes featured can be made in advance and chilled or frozen until needed. Whatever the time of year you will find a suitable recipe in this book. What could be more appealing for an al fresco lunch than an aromatic Mediterranean Salad with Basil, bursting with fresh summer produce, or a hearty Rich Minestrone soup or Corsican Beef Stew with Macaroni on a cold winter's night? With more than 200 superb colour photographs, step-by-step instructions and a tempting collection of pasta and noodle recipes, this is a must-have volume for every kitchen.
