About this item

In Pasta Modern, Italian food authority Francine Segan challenges the notion that pasta must be traditional or old-world. In this beautifully photographed cookbook, Segan details the hottest, newest, and most unusual pasta dishes from Italys food bloggers, home cooks, artisan pasta makers, and vanguard chefs. The distinctive pasta recipes, including many vegan and vegetarian specialties, range from simple and elegant Gemelli with Caramelized Oranges and Crispy Pancetta to more complex Neapolitan Carnevale Lasagna to cutting-edge Cappuccino Caper Pasta. Tips and anecdotes culled from Segans Italian travels enhance the easy-to-follow directions, and a glossary of more than extraordinary dried pastas showcases shapes to revive any pasta lovers repertoire.
