  Following on from the success of The Book of Pasta, The New Book of Pasta is an exciting and innovative collection of 85 brand new recipes. Versatile and filling, pasta is an increasingly popular staple of cooking, and as this book shows, it can form the basis of the simplest supper dish or something more stylish, suitable for a dinner party. Inspired by cuisines from around the world, and making use of contemporary ingredients, these dishes will suit a range of tastes and a variety of occasions. The introduction provides useful information on the different types, shades and flavours of pasta available, and equipment useful for making pasta dishes. The author also discusses cooking methods and other key ingredients that are vital to many of the recipes, such as tomatoes, herbs and oil. Divided into seven sections, the book covers homemade pasta, soups, sauces, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, vegetarian dishes and salads. From old favourites such as Minestrone Soup and Spaghetti Bolognese, to colourful new ideas such as Grilled scallop Capellini or Courgette and Parmesan Tortilla, this recipe book is accessible to cooks of all levels of experience. Illustrated step-by-step instructions accompany every recipe, and there is a finished shot of each dish.
