This is a great collection of pasta recipes and also includes salad, appetizer and dessert recipes. We don’t have television feed but I have read that many of these recipes are featured on the Food Network channel. This book highlights many beautiful photos and just about all recipes are easy to prepare. Anything that helps me get dinner on the table in under a half hour is a winner for me! Some of the baked pasta dishes will take more planning, time-wise, but I sure look forward to trying them.

I enjoy this cookbook. It has a lot of tasty recipes that are easy to make.
I purchased this book because I like Giada's approach to cooking. The recipes in the book appear to be easy to make. This is her third cookbook. Hope she writes more.

Saffron Orzo with Shrimp, p. 127; a waste of saffron, could use more liquid, none of it lemon.
