To Jaclyn Crupi – a proud Italian-Australian pasta maker and devotee – pasta is love, pasta is life. Pasta can be a quick and simple meal or a culinary masterpiece, but in essence it is about generosity, comfort and the beauty to be found in simplicity and quality ingredients.
In this beautifully presented hardcover book, Jaclyn shares recipes for pasta doughs as well as shapes and seasonal sauces. She explores where pasta comes from and who makes it, profiles nonne and chefs alike, and shows that anyone can and should give pasta-making a go.
Pasta Love is a celebration of the food staple we all know and love in all its forms, and of the Italian migrants who brought it to Australia - including an appearance from Costante Imports!
