From doughs and shapes to fillings and sauces, this "new essential" (Food & Wine) is the simplest guide to making fresh pasta at home from the creator of Pasta Social Club, full of easier-than-you-think techniques and spectacularly beautiful results.

Pasta just might be the perfect comfort food. Endlessly reinventable, it is a canvas for delicious dreams. And it's well within your reach to make at home, anytime.

It can be super simple, like pici in butter: a revelation made from scratch with just four ingredients. Or it can be incredibly special: agnolotti stuffed with braised shallots and Grana Padano, each parcel a gleaming little gift.

In Pasta Every Day, Meryl Feinstein has created the world's easiest-to-follow guide to making pasta doughs, shapes, fillings, and sauces. A celebrated pasta instructor, professional pasta maker, and founder of Pasta Social Club, she has years of experience helping thousands of cooks bring the pleasure of fresh pasta home.
