This book was born with the intention of being a small, informal guide for beginners that want to learn how to cook authentic Italian pasta sauces, as well as homemade pasta.I would like to invite you through my personal top ten favourite sauces which I think encapsulate the essence of Italy. Some big-classics and some less know, as well as a few examples of pasta shapes you can make at home, fettuccine, orecchiette and gnocchi.I hope this book offers you a pleasant starting point for your pasta-making journey!
