With the simplest ingredients and easier-than-you-think instructions, Making Artisan Pasta teaches you how make your own linguine, ravioli, lasagna, and dozens of other styles of pasta and noodles by hand. The fully illustrated, step-by-step tutorials will walk you through the entire tasty process, from mixing dough, rolling, and shaping pasta through cooking, serving, and storing pasta for later. Going way beyond noodles, though, this book includes tutorials on gnocchi, Chinese pot stickers, pierogi, and dozens of other world pastas. Through author and chef Aliza Green's expertise and encyclopedia knowledge of all things culinary, plus hundreds of gorgeous photos by acclaimed food photographer Steve Legato, you will learn everything there is to know about making fresh, delicious pasta in your home kitchen....and you'll never look at the supermarket pasta aisle the same way again"--
