Anything's Pastable

In 'Anything's Pastable,' Dan Pashman, the James Beard Award–winning podcaster behind The Sporkful, sets out to revolutionize people’s conceptions of pasta sauces.

Following his success with the invention of the cascatelli pasta shape, Pashman traveled across Italy and collaborated with an all-star team of recipe developers in the US to create a new kind of pasta sauce cookbook.

The book includes 81 inventive recipes inspired by a range of ingredients and cuisines, such as Kimchi Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe e Chili Crisp, and Smoked Cheddar and Chicken Manicotti 'Enchiladas.

' It also features lesser-known Italian pasta dishes with a twist and fun, modern concoctions like Spinach Artichoke Dip Lasagna Pinwheels and Pasta Pizza made from fettucine.

The cookbook aims to encourage a spirit of adventure in pasta lovers and provides detailed but easy-to-follow recipes, often using store-bought shortcuts to enhance creativity and efficiency.
