The Pasta Friday Cookbook – Giveaway

Enter to win a copy of The Pasta Friday Cookbook: Let’s Eat Together by Allison Arevalo

For many of us, weekends allow us more time to join with friends and family to share great food and conversation. Often, I turn to pasta for bigger gatherings. Pasta is economical, a crowd-pleaser (especially now with gluten-free pasta options readily available) and fairly simple to prepare. Allison’s new book, The Pasta Friday Cookbook provides 85 recipes to encourage families to create their own tradition of pasta Fridays (or Mondays or Wednesdays).

Dishes include Bucatini with summer corn and pancetta, Duck lasagne with roasted carrots, and Mafladine with porcini and eggs along with recipes for salads, sides and more. Last Sunday was a rough one here in the Hartin household, I declared I was not going to make dinner. About four o’clock when I came across my copy of Allison’s book while working on our September new cookbook review, I made a version of the Rigatoni with bacon and tomatoes for dinner – it was quick and delicious. Even though we all love to cook, sometimes we need a dish that almost puts itself together and many of these recipes do just that.

Package this book up with a nice bottle of olive oil the next time you are invited to someone’s home for dinner – it makes the perfect gift. The author is touring and her schedule can be found on our calendar.
