Homemade Pasta Made Simple: A Pasta Cookbook with Easy Recipes & Lessons to Make Fresh Pasta Any Night Paperback – August 8, 2017

Very nice and clearly written recipe book. I love the various sauce recipes.

Easy pasta recipes and detaild step by step directions

My handyman has been making homemade noodles (with pasta machine) for over 10 years but never was able to use his cutter because his pasta fell apart before he could use the cutter part. .He made his noodles (hand cut with a pizza cutter) as a Christmas present for me. His noodles were awesome (I had never had homemade noodles before). I was hooked - I never knew there was such a huge difference between store-bought and homemade noodles.. I ordered this book and loaned it to him since he (with experience) would know what they were talking about. We had a pasta making day last Friday and it was awesome. He learned a ton from the book about how to make and handle the dough. We used my digital scale to weigh the flour (apparently a critical step).He kneaded the dough as usual, and wrapped it in plastic wrap to rest (which he had never done before) Simple steps, but it made all the difference. He was thrilled about how the dough went through the machine (using the steps in the book), and even more thrilled when he could use the cutters for making perfect noodles. He's still talking about it and how the simple steps perfected his dough, and his dough went through the pasta machine just like the photos in the book.Caveat: with homemade noodles (dehydrated or not) you have to use a lot more liquid than normal recipes. I made spaghetti Friday night. My cutter made basically angel hair pasta (which I like thicker spaghetti). It was ok, but my husband got heartburn from my sauce (my fault). Next night I made lasagna from the pasta we made. I couldn't find my recipe (and had to wing it). It was a flop, but not because of the pasta. I adjusted the sauce recipe (to keep hubby from having heartburn) but didn't adjust for additional liquid needed for fresh pasta (non boiled). Lasagna was too dry. Handyman and I critiqued my lasagna the next day and figured out how to change how I did it.Based on what I've learned, my next attempts should be much better, bordering on awesome. First attempts are can be frustrating, but you learn and improve.Regardless, this book is awesome and we will continue to use the simple steps to make perfect homemade pasta.

Very good

I like the simplicity of this book, Good pasta isn't difficult. However, I was almost in tears when the author offered a gluten-free recipe. I used to make pasta for family get-togethers. Suddenly, the family turned gluten-free almost overnight. I had missed homemade pasta, but this book arrived at the right time. I also appreciate the various sauces, with discussion of which to use with which shape of pasta.

Good book for beginners, goes in depth and teaches a lot of different pastas in an easy manner. So good I shamed my Nona back to Italy.

Book has in-depth details and matches what i already knew. However, it is an excellent reminder and easy to read and use.

The delivery was prompt.Beginners a must.Easy to read & understand.A step by step.
