All the recipes in the "Pasta Book" were conceived and developed by the chefs of Academia Barilla to bring out the distinctive qualities of the different shapes of the most iconic food of Italian Cuisine.

Don’t expect just a book of tasty recipes. These pages also tell lesser-known stories. Pasta is an everyday food that makes its way into kitchens around the world, becomes a way of life, linking Alfredo at the Scrofa in Rome to the Spaghetti Houses of early twentieth-century New York. Because you can find a bit of Italy everywhere.

In the chapter "a recipe for every day" you’ll find recipes whose greatest strength is their simplicity, created from the wide variety of formats in the Barilla Classic range. The pasta journey continues with recipes for gourmets, winking at all those who love to experiment with new pairings for the rough and full-bodied surfaces of Barilla "Al Bronzo" pasta.

In the chapter "a world of creativity" you will discover special shapes invented by Barilla and authentic regional pasta shapes that are today revived and enhanced in a series of creative recipes. In the "a pasta for everyone" section, instead, you’ll find recipes dedicated to new lifestyles, where naturalness and well-being are more central than ever.

Finally, the chapter "spaghetti, a style icon" is devoted to spaghetti, a tribute to the famous number 5 format, a cult thanks to which the Barilla brand is now an ambassador in the world of this extraordinary emblem of taste.
