Pasta Fresca: An Exuberant Collection of Fresh, Vivid, and Simple Pasta Recipes 
asked by maxwell on November 11, 2006 5:21 PM
In 1985 two young women chefs with enormous, vitality and imagination published their first cookbook, Cucina Fresca. For many readers it was more than a cookbook; it was a love affair.

I bought this cookbook several years ago. While other cookbooks while away in the cupboard, "Pasta Fresca" lives on my kitchen counter.
The recipes are good and mostly easy. The only challenge is finding some of the ingredients. (Luckily most of the recipes do not require hard-to-find ingredients.) But the search for black olive paste is well worth it: "Fusilli lunghi all' Amalfitana" sends us to Seventh Heaven regularly. Why, it's almost as good as a trip to the fairy tale land of Amalfi!

Looks like a nice book,I did not use yet but I noticed that it has no pictures, which makes it hard to know what to expect the dish to suppose to look like. I feel that would probably make my job trying to impress my wife a little harder.
