PEASANT PASTA

It hit me like a bolt of lightning. I was in Orlando traveling for business and stopped at one of the big three Italian chain restaurants for dinner. I ordered a seafood pasta. Just as expected it was mediocre at best. But this is what they offer, and this is America's version of pasta. But I know better. Pasta in Italy is very different. And that's the motivation for this book. To enlighten the average American about pasta the Italian way... This is not your ordinary cookbook. This book will change the way you think about, cook and eat pasta forever. This book is not only for the average person that wants to make pasta the Italian way, but also for restaurateurs that want to offer their guests the real thing. You will not find the pasta dishes featured in this book at most chain or local Italian restaurants in the United States. But you will find them in trattorias and pizzerias throughout Italy. From Rome to Rimini. From San Remo to Sigonella.
