My Marcato Pasta Maker Homemade Pasta Cookbook, A Simple Steps Brand Cookbook: 101 Pastas, Traditional & Modern Recipes, How to Make Pasta by Hand, ... Steps! (making pasta book, pasta recipe book)

This was a gift for my teenaged grandson. I've used the same brand unit for years. It is really easy to use. My grandson loved it and had fun fixing dinner for all. Pasta recipes are abundant, and this pasta maker makes two pastas, basic spaghetti or fettuccini width noodles. Realistically, the process is fairly quick once you understand how it works (and it is not complicated). The process can be sort of zen-like when you get into it. Add a glass of Chianti and life is good.

I love homemade pasta and this guide offers a treasure trove of information on how to make your own pasta. The author gives you instructions on how to make thin noodles, thick noodles, flavored noodles, etc. Plus there are tons of recipes for spaghetti and other pasta dishes that made my mouth water while reading them. I'm definitely going to try out more than a few recipes.

I take people to Italy to learn how to learn the language and make pasta. I also own a Marcato Pasta maker and love it. The information is pretty basic... but then making pasta from scratch is pretty easy and very basic. Not much to it. The Marcato maker is a great tool to get thin layers to create various kinds of pasta shapes. The recipes are interesting and give one inspiration to get out of a rut... I look forward to trying them. Just a note Alfredo sauce doesn't exist in Italy.

This looks easy to read and follow along with.

Perfect book to guide me in use of the pasta machine. I like that the recipes included tell you what pasta dough to use with the pasta dough instructions in the front. Would have loved more pictures but other than that it’s very informative and helpful.

Love this pasta cookbook. I use it with my stand mixer pasta cutter. I have tried many of the recipes and am very happy with the results.

I love Julia Stefano’s recipe book. I bought a Marcato Pasta maker before my Italian mother in law came to visit a couple of years ago. She uses it when she is here to everyone’s great delight, but when she leaves, the pasta maker stays untouched. That is about to change! I am not a very accomplished chef, but as I read Julia Stefano’s book, -with its beautiful illustrations and detailed instructions, I feel inspired to try out all these recipes. They look authentic and yet possible for me to do.-Ravioli, spaghetti, lasagna, classic egg pasta dough, spinach pasta dough… all sort sorts of pasta dough…and a variety of recipes for sauces…I cannot wait to get started! I have learned from my Italian mother in law that it can be deceptively hard to make the perfect dough, so I have avoided making fresh pasta…but this book shows me how to get it right through thorough step by step instructions. I recommend this book!

I'm a foodie, and that's what drew me to this book. I was expecting to find new recipes, and I did to an extent. However, I also found partial recipes and a lack of pictures.

Very delicious, easy to follow recipes. Made me feel very hungry. Highly recommend this book to any level of cook. Definitely put together with must love and passion.

Nogal saai boek. Enkel de kaft is in kleur, de inhoud in het grijs. Het heeft weinig met Marcato te maken. Ik verwachtte tips voor het gebruik van de pastamachine. Bijvoorbeeld instellingen van de knop om de dikte van de pastavellen in te stellen. Er staan een vijftal recepten in voor deeg en dan nog allerlei pastarecepten. Dat kan je in gelijk welk kookboek terugvinden. De titel is dus erg misleidend omdat het niet specifiek over de Marcato machine gaat. Het viel zo tegen dat ik het direct heb geretourneerd.

I just go a pasta machine and spotted this book on kindle for a really reasonable cost.Very surprised at the content, informative, well written and the range of recipies both western and eastern from veg to meats to seafood is very broad.l can see that this Jewell of a book will be one l shall be dipping into time and again as the recipes look fun do do and look like they will keep my hungry family happy for some time.Highly recommended.

I love this book. It clarified the instructions for use of the Marcato pasta maker, which I was not operating properly. Has many options for a myriad of different pastas, and for the money you cannot go wrong purchasing this book.

Great little machine
