Beard on Pasta
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is one of my favorite cookbooks. The recipe for Pasta and Beans is something of a winter staple in my house. Just like Mr. Beard told me, I serve it with red wine and good bread. The macaroni and cheese is also great as well as the fish stew...

I had a number of questions regarding pasta. Every time I made pasta something different would happen. This book answered my questions and some I didn't even know I had! He teaches you how to make pasta by hand and by many different machines. He recommends trying all of the methods to find what works best for you. I have not tried many of the sauces yet, but I like the variety available. He believes that pasta is not just for Italian dishes and includes sauce recipes for many ethnicities. For novice pasta makers this is the book to have!
In constant use in my kitchen

This is one of my cookbooks which never gets put away. I proposed over a serving of the Pesto, and now my kids demand the macaroni and cheese. Some of the dishes seem like crazy combinations, but have become pot luck favorites. The pastitisio and the basil lasagne were big hits. No clunkers here.
