Start a weekly pasta tradition to reconnect with your family and community using these 70 deliciously creative recipes. Reading this book will make you feel like you were invited to a family gathering, big or small. Get to know this pasta-loving community in Oakland, and the girl behind it: A mother, chef, and entrepreneur who left her successful restaurant to slow down, cook for her friends, and build a community. You can cook weekly pasta dinners for family and friends, and you'll actually LOVE it. Our grandparents did it without breaking the bank and it doesn't have to be elaborate. The Pasta Friday Cookbook makes it possible--it's approachable, fun, nostalgic with a touch of modern, like your grandmother's living room without plastic on the couch. With 52 creative pasta recipes, 16 seasonal salads, and extras like crispy prosciutto and lemon croutons sprinkled throughout, you'll be inspired to cook every recipe, whether you're gathering a large crowd or sitting down with just your family. Allison's Italian heritage plays a role in her recipes, but this is not your typical Italian cookbook.

The recipes are fresh and new using 52 different shaped pastas with spins on Penne Alla Vodka, Spaghetti Amatriciana, Cheesy Baked Cavatelli, and Fusilli primavera with 'nduja. Sara Remington's beautiful photography will make you love this book even more, not to mention hungry!.
