50 Fresh Inviting ways to pair pasta with peak season Vegetables Following on the success of Pasta Harvest, the new Four Seasons Pasta gives readers 50 fresh, inviting ways to pair pasta with peak-season vegetables. Organized by season, and within seasons by vegetable, the book makes it easy for readers to find appealing recipes for the vegetables that are best at the moment. For those who prefer to eat "almost vegetarian," the book is a rich trove of dinner ideas. Drawing on prior travels to Italy and on contemporary restaurant trends, the author has assembled a list of recipes both timeless and modern. Beloved regional recipes such as Puglia's ceci e tria (wide fresh noodles with chick peas) and Naples's rigatoni con ricotta (with tomato sauce and fresh ricotta) satisfy readers eager for authentic flavours. Throughout, the recipes exhibit a preference for pared-down simplicity, for recipes that are as streamlined as great taste allows. Four Seasons Pasta is a book to reach for at the end of the workday and before casual evenings with friends.
