Lacalamita is the author of the very good The Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook (LJ 11/15/93), but this book for the new automatic (extrusion) pasta machines is something of a disappointment. Once again, the recipes have been tested using all the most popular machines. However, in contrast to those in the bread machine book, most here are fairly ordinary. Furthermore, some of the pastas must be finished in a hand-crank pasta machine or by using a rolling pin, which seeems to defeat the purpose of the electric machine. The section on Asian noodles is unusual, but the dishes using the various pastas made in the machine are a grab bag of often-familiar sauces, salads, soups, casseroles, etc. Nevertheless, given the interest in the new pasta machines, expect demand.

For those cooks sufficiently enamored of kitchen high-tech (and possessing enough counter or storage space), the automatic pasta machine not only offers a timesaving convenience over its hand-cranked counterpart but also produces, according to its advocates, a better-tasting pasta and noodle. Lacalamita provides more than 85 recipes for pastas. Few surprises will greet readers accustomed to Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. Won ton skins become dim sum or additions to raspberry crisp, lasagna noodles turn into the eponymous main dish, and durum-wheat pasta is enhanced with a Sunday meat sauce. Good beginners' instructions minimize potential problems. Nutrition analyses and saucing, recipe, and pasta recommendations stamp this as a satisfactory addition to the other guides to machine cuisines. Barbara Jacobs
