Forty-five recipes that bring Italian tradition to your everyday table, ranging from essential classics to bold, modern twists by the people behind internet sensation Pastology.

Bruna grew up between sheets of dough in her grandparents' pasta shop. Emanuele was raised in his family's Roman osteria.

In their highly anticipated debut cookbook, the pasta masters guide you from flour to fork. No shortcuts, no compromises - just pure, al dente perfection.

Next up are Bruna and Emanuele's signature dishes, split into 20 timeless Italian recipes and 25 daring modern creations. Short on time? A handful of speedy sauces will even turn store-bought pasta into something unforgettable. Furthermore, you'll find clever tips, cheeky stories, and jaw-dropping food photography. This isn't just a cookbook, it's a pasta revolution!
