highly recommended

Bought this for the wife - no pasta yet.

The cover is nice - and the recipes look delicious, but still no pasta ona da table.

Creative ideas for main and side dishes

If you've ever wondered why Italians love pasta and serve it so frequently, best-selling author Giana De Laurentiis makes the reasons very clear here. There are light recipies, hearty recipies, traditional and creative ones, and a selection of complementary dishes to serve as well. What a treat! The photos and tips add to the useful ideas, as does the brief section on Italian wines, the suggested menus, and the index.

Great Italian cookbook

This book has wonderful recipes. The only downfall is they are not quick and easy. Lots of ingredients and time are needed.

So good I wore the book out

I bought this book about a year ago, and have browsed through it and used it so much that the book is literally falling apart. Giada's Italian recipes are by far the best of any Italian cookbook I've ever had. Most are fairly practical, and almost all are delicious. I highly recommend "Everyday Pasta" and any other Giada cookbook.

I'm going to buy a new copy before my old book is completely worn out.

wonderful dishes, lots of variety

This book is great for the pasta lover- it has recipes for those who want to introduce interesting ingredients into their cooking.

For New York Times bestselling author Giada De Laurentiis, pasta has always been one of the great pleasures of the table: it?s healthy and delicious; it can be light and delicate or rich and hearty; it?s readily available and easy to prepare--everything you want in a meal. And nothing satisfies a craving for Italian food quite like it! In Everyday Pasta, Giada invites you to share her love of this versatile staple with more than a hundred brand-new recipes for pasta dishes, as well as for complementary sauces, salads, and sides tempting enough to bring the whole family to the dinner table.

Without forgetting about the classics we all love, Giada makes the most of the many varieties of pasta available to create recipes that combine familiar flavors in exciting new ways.

Although most of these dishes are all-in-one meals in themselves, Giada also supplies recipes for her favorite appetizers, side dishes, and salads to round them out.

Whether you?re looking for a simple summer supper that makes the most of seasonal vegetables or seeking comfort in a pasta bowl on a cold winter?s night, Everyday Pasta offers just the thing.

? Tuna, Green Bean, and Orzo Salad
? Crab Salad Napoleans with Fresh Pasta
? Roman-Style Fettuccini with Chicken
? Baked Pastina Casserole
? Tagliatelle with Short Ribs Ragou
? Spaghetti with Eggplant, Butternut Squash, and Shrimp

Easy to prepare and endlessly versatile, pasta makes a wonderful quick supper when time is short but easily becomes an elegant meal when the occasion requires. In Everyday Pasta, Giada shows you how, with a few basic ingredients from the fridge and the pantry, you?re never more than minutes away from a delicious pasta dinner.
