Book Overview
In a world where everyone seems to be trying to eat more healthfully and seasonally, nothing makes more sense for dinner than pasta with vegetables. In Four Seasons Pasta , best-selling author Janet Fletcher follows the harvest to create more than 50 seasonal recipes for this wholesome combination. Inspired by the southern Italian pasta repertoire, Fletcher has unearthed many little-known gems--authentic, unfussy regional recipes that even novice cooks can make. From a spring fava bean stew with fusilli to summer's spaghetti alla Palermitana (with zucchini, tomatoes, anchovies and capers), peak-season produce paired with pasta makes a totally satisfying meal. Autumn brings radicchio to braise with pancetta and onions--a savory sauce for tagliatelle. Even winter provides produce for the pasta kitchen: beans for hearty bean-and-pasta soups and kale for a winter pesto. With guidelines for choosing dried pasta, making fresh pasta from scratch, and equipping the pasta kitchen, Four Seasons Pasta offers readers a delicious and sensible way to eat for life.

Janet Fletcher is one of America's best cooks and cookbook authors. I've been an avid fan of her recipes since her first pasta book and this book not only meets it in offering inventive and absolutely delicious recipes it might even surpass it. There's a recipe for everyone. Although Italians frown on wiping up any remaining pasta sauce with bread, you'll want to lick your plate clean when you finish one of these recipes. While not all of the ingredients are necessarily in your local supermarket, most are and the others are worth finding. And the author offers lots of helpful information about pasta. This book will make everyone a pasta and vegetable lover!
