A New Pasta Cookbook

I'm a sucker for cookbooks. I have more recipes in my collection than I could probably cook in my lifetime, but I still enjoy paging through them and using them as a reference. Pasta cookbooks are next level - how can I say no - especially since we made our own. That still seems like a dream.

 

Somehow this new pasta cookbook got on my radar and I ordered one for myself on the release date. I liked it so much that I also ordered a bunch for the shop. I suggest you come by and pick one up if you are a pasta geek like me and want to expand your pasta repertoire. I'll pick a recipe from the book soon to include a recipe in a future newsletter. I've been in touch with the author, a famed chef from the Pacific Northwest, he's open to a visit to Etto down the road, so look forward to that. 

 

The book is broken down into recipes by season with the summer getting 3 seasons due to the tremendous bounty of pasta friendly ingredients available. It's a wealth of information with some overlap with our Etto book, but with a bunch of new information too. Many of the pasta shapes Etto makes are featured in the book and substitution is easy. The recipes featuring longer cuts could easily work with the pasta from our fresh case. WARNING: Looking through this cookbook will make you very hungry.
