It's All About Pasta - 25+ Pasta Recipes (1)

Ever since I arrived in Italy over 20 years ago I loved Pasta. Thanks to all the wonderful cooks, from friends to family. I learned to make the most amazing dishes.

Believe me there is more to Pasta than tomato sauce. I learned to make a lot of easy “20 minutes” and it’s on the table Pasta Recipes, to the more complicated, Egg Pasta Recipes and of course everything in between.

Homemade Ravioli

I discovered that Italians never make a one pot Pasta dish. Unless of course you are making soup and you throw in a couple of handfuls of small pasta just before serving.

I learned how to make the Perfect Pasta

  • Be sure to use a large (very large) pot of water.
  • Bring the water to a strong boil.
  • Add salt, I usually use rock salt probably about 1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons.
  • Be sure to use a good quality pasta.
  • Add your pasta and continue to cook in the boiling water, stirring often.
  • Cook the pasta al dente, check the box for the ideal cooking time.
  • Taste the pasta to make sure it is done, it should have a light bite to it.
  • Remove the pasta with a sieve, never rinse pasta before adding to the sauce.
  • With most pasta recipes a little pasta water is added to the sauce when bringing the dish together.

  5. Mrs Malloy, At one time I had a young man on my staff whose Grandmother was from a section of Northern Rome. She had a recipe for pasta Carbonara wherein she used a basic egg and cream sauce which was excellent.
    Most of today’s recipes for Carbonara seem to use only the egg and Parmesan “sauce” which tends to be a little drier. Is this cream sauce just “Grandmother’s” own or is this also an option for Carbonara?
    We ordered your pasta book and look forward to many more great Italian recipes.

    1. Hi D J, thanks I hope you enjoy the book. So interesting question, I discovered a few recipes using cream, although it’s only a tablespoon or two of cream that is added, and it is beaten together with the egg, apparently it brings all the flavours together, but if you add too much then it covers all the flavours. So careful of how much you add. It was very popular back in the 60s. 🙂 Next time I make it I think I will add a little cream too.

  7. Rosemary, thanks for putting the e-book together. I just went through it and noticed some missing ingredients in some recipes. The first, was in the first recipe. The amt of hamis missing from the ingredients. I assume a cup of chopped ham, but it may be more. Likewise, in the creamy asparagus carbonara, the no. of egg yolks in missing from the ingredient list. Also, in the instructions, it mentions pancetta, but none appears in the ingredients? I didn’t read all recipes closely, so I’m not sure if that’s all. Can you confirm these amounts? Thanks
