The fundamental techniques of one type of pasta or sauce will give you the tools to approach the next one…the book reflects the way we teach the interns.

The recipes, while remaining true to their authentic Italian roots, are unmistakably influenced by Chef Boswell’s time at Chez Panisse, and sparkle with a lightness and purity that one doesn’t normally expect from pasta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his meat cannelloni, for example, instead of layering the dish with béchamel sauce—the typical method—he adds only a small bit of \u003cem\u003e besciamella \u003c\/em\u003e to the meat to bind the mixture. In \u003cem\u003eTortiglioni alla Norma\u003c\/em\u003e, a dish in which eggplant is traditionally fried, here it is baked to maintain the integrity of the eggplant flavor, while lightening up the dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe approach makes pasta suddenly make sense even in hot months. Consider Bavette with White Fish and Pesto, in which the “pesto” contains no cheese or garlic, so is subtle, clean, and perfect on a warm day; as are the “handkerchiefs” tossed with pistachio, basil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a grating of orange zest. Even lasagne has been transformed into a light and summery dish, and made quick and easy by Boswell’s trick that cuts prep time dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith such elegance on the plate, it’s easy to forget that these are dishes designed to feed a large hungry group (the staff, scholars, and artists working at the American Academy in Rome) so the recipes are necessarily economical and practical: two virtues that any cook will cherish. There are dozens of vegetarian recipes, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many other delights in the book: the unexpected flavor pairings (asparagus and basil); the anecdotes that make Chef Boswell a fun presence in the kitchen; the basic recipes and techniques that any cook will find invaluable; the surprises (a white \u003cem\u003ePuttanesca\u003c\/em\u003e, dishes in which cheese and fish work together); easy variations that can transform a recipe as familiar as spaghetti and meatballs into something entirely different; and last but not least, the spirit of \u003cem\u003e la dolce vita \u003c\/em\u003e that infuses every page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"review-quotes\"\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristopher Boswell is the executive chef of the Rome Sustainable Food Project.
