Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

Bolognese Meat Sauce : page 203
This has become a favorite! It's simple and delicious. In fact I kept wanting to complicate it by adding garlic or chili flakes or herbs, but I stayed the course and was rewarded in the end with a scrumptious sauce! I let mine simmer 6 hours and the meat was soft and moist. Made Marcella's homemade pasta to go with it - big hit!

Loved this simple sauce. I did roast the eggplant in the oven till crisp outside/creamy inside, instead of frying and served with spaghettini. Hearty and delicious!

Fresh Yellow Pasta Dough : page 130
Finally a simple but comprehensive recipe for fresh pasta. Hazan explains the method with step by step instructions and even a few illustrations. The dough was easy to work with and the end product had great texture. I have to say I was worried it didn't make the 4 servings it claimed it would (it did not look like a lot of dough) but magically, somehow between the boiling water and the table it swelled into 4 satisfying helpings of pasta. Served with the Bolognese (page 203) - delicious!
