Description

The innovative James Beard Award–winning podcaster who changed the way you think about pasta shapes with his invention of the viral sensation cascatelli now does the same for pasta sauces in this fun and charmingly obsessive cookbook, which includes a foreword from bestselling author J. Kenji López- Alt.When Sporkful podcast host Dan Pashman launched cascatelli, a new pasta shape he invented that he designed to hold tons of sauce, stay on the fork, and be incredibly satisfying to bite into, it went viral and was named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of the Year. VICE called him "a modern pasta legend."But as Dan was flooded with pictures of what people were making with his pasta, he was disappointed to see how limited the dishes were: tomato sauce, meat sauce, mac and cheese, over and over. A few party animals made pesto.So Dan set out to revolutionize people’s conceptions of pasta sauces, just as he did with pasta shapes. He traveled across Italy and worked with an all-star team of recipe developers in the US to create a new kind of pasta sauce cookbook for people bored with the old standbys. That’s why there’s no 3-hour marinara recipe or fresh pasta made from scratch in this book. No photos of nonnas caked in flour or the hills of Tuscany. Instead it’s time to show the world—Anything’s Pastable.Here you’ll enjoy dishes inspired by a range of ingredients and cuisines:Kimchi CarbonaraCacio e Pepe e Chili CrispKeema BologneseMapo Tofu CascatelliShakshuka and ShellsSmoked Cheddar and Chicken Manicotti “Enchiladas”Linguine with Miso Clam SauceShrimp and Andouille Mac and Cheese Lesser-known Italian pasta dishes with a twist:Spaghetti all’Assassina (spicy pasta pan fried until charred and crispy crunchy)Ciceri e Tria (chewy fresh pasta with crispy fried pasta in a light chickpea broth)Cavatelli with Roasted Artichokes and Preserved LemonCreste di Gallo with Fava Beans and Dandelion GreensPasta Frittata Fun and delicious concoctions that may—or may not—be how they do it in Italy:Spinach Artichoke Dip Lasagna PinwheelsPasta Pizza (the “crust” is fettucine fused together)Roman Cafeteria Hot Dog Pasta Salad with Canned Veggies With an incredible array of recipes, Dan showcases the limitless pastabilities when you really know how to use your noodle.

  • A Clever, Fun, & Beautiful Cookbook
I’m not ashamed to admit I pretty much only buy cookbooks with photos for each recipe as my attention span can’t handle the alternative. This book has stunning photography, clever, new, easy to follow recipes, and is also a fun and witty read all on its own. Love the lack of from scratch red sauce recipes. I mean, are there really people who still don’t just doctor up store bought sauces left out there? Dan is here to save you people from yourselves! I’m really looking forward to making the Mapo Tofu & the Keema Bolognese pastas. ... show more

  • Not your grandma’s Pasta Recipes!
I really love this book. I was already a fan of Dan Pashman from his Sporkful podcast and was curious about how a food nerd like him would write a cookbook. I love the innovative recipes, twists on familiar favorites with new flavors and some wildcards like Pasta Pizza. He really utilized the brain trust of recipe developers he brought on to make this book happen. The recipes are written in an easy to understand way, and I love that the recipe timing includes the prep required, too often I get frustrated when a recipe that is supposed to take 30 min takes an hour by the time you prep all the ingredients. There is no marinara recipe in this book, but lots of ideas on how to take marinara and make it something more. And there’s a healthy splash of food geekery, like Dan’s obsession with pasta shapes and food textures. This is a great book for someone who wants more than the traditional pasta flavors and is willing to step outside the metaphorical box. ... show more

  • Many hot recipes
I think I may be the only person who had not heard of Dan Pashman before purchasing this book. What I really liked about this book is the explanation of processed pasta in the introduction. I learned a lot about processed pasta that I didn't know, and it's rare that I learn something from cookbooks anymore. Many of the recipes look intriguing, and I appreciate that the book includes pasta salads that are not mayo-based. The only thing I don't like about the recipes is that many use "hot" ingredients such as chili crisp, chipotle peppers, gochugaru, etc., which I can't eat, but will try some of these recipes without the hot ingredient. I did not dock the stars, as it isn't the author's fault, and I didn't do due diligence. I just wanted to point this out for others who also can't take hot ingredents. ... show more

  • Great cookbook for easy weekday meals!
I’ve made about half a dozen recipes now and they’ve all been easy and delicious! This is a great book for easy weekday dinners (and a handful of more time consuming weekend treats) for anyone who is looking for some new cooking inspiration. I love that there are a lot of non-traditional pasta interpretations of international dishes developed as collaborations with people of that heritage. Really happy we added this book to our collection! ... show more

  • How many pictures of Dan Pashman do we really need?
Dan Pashman's thinking outside of the box (of pasta) with his new book, "Anything's Pastable", and I'm here for it. He's already proven himself with his novel "cascatelli" pasta and I've followed his exploits in podcasts and in food media before that and after. I knew this book would be similarly groundbreaking and I was not disappointed. More than just recipes, Mr Pashman's got a philosophy to pasta that is sorely needed in a time when most Americans think "Olive Garden" is somehow the vanguard for delicious spaghetti or lasagna (hint: its servings of mush are most definitely not). He doesn't just give ingredients and techniques; he motivates the decisions made in the book with background, tradeoffs, the pursuit of contrasts, and the desire for novelty. There is no red sauce in this book. Instead, you'll find a variety of pangrattatos, unique flavor combinations, and forward-looking fusion pastas that beckon with (perhaps forbidden) delights. There's a fun flowchart you can use on busy weeknights to take that jar of tomato sauce in original directions. There's an eye-popping take on pizza crust that's actually made out of pasta. Even pasta salads get a crisp, modernistic treatment with mayo-free recipes that are the perfect foils for your next potluck or barbecue—and all of this is backed by Pashman's metrics for understanding the qualities of pasta: "forkability, sauceability, toothsinkability." It's fun but also delicious reading. The only concern I have about the book is that Dan Pashman's successes might be feeding unnecessarily into his ego. There are more than twenty—yes, twenty plus!—photographs of Mr Pashman in the book. This, unfortunately, seems to be a trend in recent cookbooks. Personally, I'd rather have more photographs of the food instead of the author. We're proud of you, Dan, but you don't have to rub our faces in your success. Overall I still recommend this book despite that flaw and I'm looking forward to making keema bolognese, shakshuka and shells, chili crisp tahini pasta with fried shallots, and more. Turns out anything is pastable! ... show more

  • Interesting
I listened to some of his podcasts about the creation of the Cascatelli pasta, so fun guy. Anyway, this cook book has some very interesting recipes and I made the Pasta Pizza which came out good. I have to modify a lot since I mainly cook for two and in the case of Pasta Pizza needed some protein so added some cooked chicken sausage. Overall very intriguing recipes and have a bunch ready to test out. May get a couple of books to give to friends and family. ... show more

  • Innovative Pasta Recipes from the Inventor of Cascatelli! Great gift set!
I'm a big fan of cascatelli and was so excited for this cookbook - and I'm blown away! It's fun, creative, and truly shows a range of ingredients and recipes. It's obvious how much thought and work was put into this book. Also makes a great gift set to give together with a box of cascatelli. Thanks again to Dan for challenging norms in the most delicious way! ... show more
