Everyday Pasta Recipe Preview
Rigatoni with Sausage, Peppers, and Onions
 4 to 6 servings
Stroll through any Italian American street fair and you'll smell this classic combo. But while sausage and peppers are great in a sandwich, I think they're even better tossed with rigatoni. Using turkey sausages instead of the more traditional pork also makes it a little lighter.
1/4cup extra virgin olive oil
1pound sweet Italian turkey sausages
2red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and sliced
2yellow onions, sliced
1teaspoon salt
1teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4garlic cloves, chopped
1/2teaspoon dried oregano
1/2cup chopped fresh basil
2tablespoons tomato paste
1cup Marsala wine
1(14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
1/4teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1pound rigatoni pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan.
Keeping the pan over medium heat, add the bell peppers, onions, salt, and pepper and cook until golden, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, and basil and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until incorporated, then add the Marsala, tomatoes with their juice, and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the brown bits. Bring to a simmer.
Cut the sausages into 4 to 6 pieces each. Return the sausages to the pan. Simmer uncovered until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and add to the thickened sauce; toss to combine. Spoon into individual bowls and sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese.

I gave this cookbook to my mother for Christmas, and she can't stop cooking! Not only is she enjoying the cookbook, but the whole family is also. This is a must buy!
So good I wore the book out October 24, 2008
Booke Critique
I bought this book about a year ago, and have browsed through it and used it so much that the book is literally falling apart. Giada's Italian recipes are by far the best of any Italian cookbook I've ever had. Most are fairly practical, and almost all are delicious. I highly recommend "Everyday Pasta" and any other Giada cookbook.
I'm going to buy a new copy before my old book is completely worn out.
wonderful dishes, lots of variety July 24, 2008

 Creative ideas for main and side dishes June 19, 2008
linda's books (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico)
If you've ever wondered why Italians love pasta and serve it so frequently, best-selling author Giana De Laurentiis makes the reasons very clear here. There are light recipies, hearty recipies, traditional and creative ones, and a selection of complementary dishes to serve as well. What a treat! The photos and tips add to the useful ideas, as does the brief section on Italian wines, the suggested menus, and the index.

This book has wonderful recipes. The only downfall is they are not quick and easy. Lots of ingredients and time are needed.
