50 Great Pasta Sauces

pasta 50 Great Pasta SaucesMamma Mia! What a tantalizing taste of Italy!

Imagine simmering a savory Italian pasta sauce in a kitchen overlooking a quaint garden scented with sweet basil. Sound peaceful? This is one way Pamela Sheldon Johns spends her free time. With her newest cookbook, 50 Great Pasta Sauces (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $14.95), she invites you to do the same. So come to the table and share the delectable cuisine before you.

A delightful mix of traditional and bold new sauces fills this cookbook. For simplicity, the 50 sauces are divided into four types:

  • Vegetable sauces include savory broccoli cream, a traditional sauce that can be put together in short order.
  • Dairy sauces include classic carbonara, named for the coal miners it sustained.
  • Meat sauces include wild boar ragu, a perfect cold-weather food.
  • Seafood sauces include pepper and anchovy, a favorite from southern Italy.

Throughout 50 Great Pasta Sauces, Pamela adds such helpful tips as which pasta to use with which sauce, how to cook certain styles of pasta, and what sauce is appropriate for certain occasions or seasons.
