Pasta for the People Format: Hardback

A delicious collection of fuss-free pasta recipes from chefs and recipe creators

Pasta is comfort – easy, familiar, endlessly satisfying. But too often we get stuck in the loop of the same recipes: a trusty bolognese, a jar of pesto, the reliable carbonara. What if pasta could be more?

This book is an invitation to rethink pasta: to explore fresh flavors, global influences, and unexpected pairings that bring new joy to the table. From their home in Cumbria UK, Northern Pasta Co. has pioneered spelt pasta made from British grains, and in their first cookbook they share recipes of their own alongside favorites from chefs and food creators, including:

Max La Manna's Zesty Radiatori Summer Salad
Olia Hercules's Rigatoni from Napoli via Genoa & Odesa
Izzie Cox's Miso Gochujang Pumpkin Rigatoni
Helen Graham's Tomato & Tamarind Gigli
Tom Jackson's Slow-cooked Courgette Casarecce
Saliha Khan's Desi Meema Rigatoni

From sauce-hugging shapes to bold, flavor-packed combinations, these recipes prove pasta is never boring. It's time to fall in love with it all over again.
