It can be anything from spiralised vegetables, quinoa, or gluten-free pasta for a healthy mid-week supper to hand-made tortellini at the weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLaura Santini's Pasta Secrets\u003c\/em\u003e opens with ‘The Principles of Pasta’: an accessible guide to making and cooking pasta, which also explains dried versus fresh, pasta alternatives, and how different pasta shapes work with each sauce; a key then recommends pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dishes are divided into Quick and Easy, with simple stunners such as Pepper and Parmesan and Lemon Artichoke Pesto.
