Buona Pasta: Fresh Pasta Made Easy With or Without a Machine

I am SO excited to share that I wrote my very first cookbook and it’s available NOW!

This is the ultimate beginner’s guide to pasta making, with all my pasta tips & tricks included! I’ll show you every step of the process to cut, shape, form & fill a variety of beginner friendly pasta shapes, with or without a machine. PS it’s also a great cookbook for kids who love to cook!

My cookbook is a mixture of my family recipes and my own creations – combining everything I’ve learned growing up in an Italian family, while studying & cooking abroad in Florence, Italy plus everything I’ve taught myself about pasta making over these last 10 years – which is A LOT!

Each pasta includes a delicious yet simple sauce which can be swapped with whatever pasta you want – from light to creamy, buttery to baked – creating endless combinations for you to choose from!
