Monday-to-Friday Pasta

by Michele Urvater

Second in the Monday-to-Friday series, here's a pasta book with a difference. For two-worker families, single parents, and other busy people, Ms. Urvater marries the innovative Monday-to-Friday pantry-based approach with everyone's favorite food, pasta. The result is a guide to making over 175 delicious pasta dishes in roughly the time it takes to boil a pot of water. The range of recipes includes soup (Comforting Pasta Fagioli), seafood (Scallops Casino with Bowties), meat (Beef and Glass Noodles, Chic Chorizo), and salad (Couscous and Lentil Salad, Rotelle a la Greek Salad). Monday-to-Friday and the It's as perfect a match as spaghetti and meatballs.

[Jennifer Canterbury · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a comprehensive book on pasta for busy weekday schedules along with some recipes for the weekends or special occasions. There are variants for every recipe and there are ways to mix-it-up for the leftovers, too.

This is the book that help me learn what to store in my pantry. A used to always need to shop for each recipe until I learned I could keep the basics on hand. Occasionally I still visit this book to make sure my list is complete.
