These recipes constitute the basic pasta repertoire: recipes tested and perfected through the centuries.

From this basic repertoire, it is then possible to build and expand your pasta cooking experience -- expanding the varieties of presentation and of tastes; and building on the concepts of melding and harmony. Start with these classics, and enjoy!
