Pasta for the People

  • $32

A delicious collection of fuss-free pasta recipes from chefs and recipe creators.

Pasta is comfort – easy, familiar, and endlessly satisfying. Yet it is all too easy to fall into a routine of making the same dishes: a trusty bolognese, a jar of pesto, or a reliable carbonara. This cookbook explores the many possibilities of pasta beyond the familiar classics.

The book celebrates fresh flavours, global influences, and unexpected pairings that bring new inspiration to the table. Based in Cumbria, UK, Northern Pasta Co. has pioneered spelt pasta made from British grains. In their first cookbook, the company brings together its own recipes alongside favourites from chefs and food creators, including:

  • Max La Manna's Zesty Radiatori Summer Salad
  • Olia Hercules's Rigatoni from Napoli via Genoa & Odesa
  • Izzie Cox's Miso Gochujang Pumpkin Rigatoni
  • Helen Graham's Tomato & Tamarind Gigli
  • Tom Jackson's Slow-cooked Courgette Casarecce
  • Saliha Khan's Desi Meema Rigatoni

From sauce-hugging shapes to bold, flavour-packed combinations, these recipes demonstrate that pasta is anything but boring, offering a fresh perspective on a much-loved staple.
