THE BIBLE OF AUTHENTIC ITALIAN PASTA BY THE BIG MAMMA SQUADRA

Following their 2024 title Italian Recipes in 30 Minutes, the Big Mamma team dedicates its new book to one of the greatest treasures of Italian culinary heritage: pasta.

In 150 iconic recipes and eight thematic chapters, Big Mamma: Pasta explores the full diversity and creativity of Italian pasta, both past and present. From dried and fresh pasta to the shaping and molding of pasta dough. Expect essential classic recipes, bakes, salads, and even five-star creations, as well as even sweet dessert variations made from the same dough, plus plenty of tips and anecdotes from the team’s chefs to help you become a true pasta expert.

DIVE INTO THE CULTURE OF ITALIAN PASTA

Pasta, much more than a dish, a way of life.

Learn to hand-shape Apulian orecchiette, Tuscan pici, and tagliatelle rolled out according to Emilian tradition, as well as the essential basics: the different types of flour, the art of mantecatura for perfectly creamy sauces, and the utensils that make all the difference, from pasta machines to gnocchi boards and the Abruzzo chitarra.

Here, each recipe – from Sunday lunch spaghetti scarpariello to tagliolini al tartufo worthy of a gourmet dinner, not forgetting rigatoni con i broccoli arriminati or gnocchi Nerano — is enhanced with an Italian song to groove to whilst cooking alongside secrets passed down through Big Mamma’s chef’s family traditions for preparing a meal, made with heart as much as with hands.
