Pasta certainly captures the imagination when used to accentuate fresh from the garden veggies. Whether it’s a simple bolognaise, created from home-grown toms, or a delectable creamy carbonara, the gardens of Italy have inspired dishes famous for their flavour.
In 500 Pasta Dishes, Valentina Harris provides familiar recipes (some with a novel or speedy twist) and more unusual recipes that draw on international cuisine, contemporary palates, and the availability of ingredients in supermarkets.
Experienced cooks will find new inspiration, and less confident cooks will discover that success can come with every meal.

Despite its rather modest RRP (just $24.99) this little book is certainly big on content and lives up to its claim as ‘the only pasta compendium you’ll ever need.’
