In A Passion for Pasta, everyone can take a delicious trip down Italy, from top to toe, led by 'pasta queen' Carmela Sereno - your guide to making speciality pasta dishes from each Italian region. With stunning photographs throughout, these recipes include: © Mandilli di Seta, handkerchief pasta with creamy pesto, from Liguria and the Italian Riviera. Liguria's capital, Genoa, is birthplace of the well-known basil pesto. © Orecchiete con cime di rape, which combines the speciality pasta of Puglia, orecchiete (translated as 'little ears') , with the humble turnip to produce a dish full of flavour and yet typical of Puglia's unique style of cooking, cucina povera. © Ziti with sardines, chicory and breadcrumbs. Ziti pasta come in many sizes from the length of small maccheroni to that of spaghetti.
