The Basic Italian Cookbook-Retro Series by Lesley Pagett

The Basic Italian Cookbook is the latest in the Retro series and this book has the basic principles of easy and less fussy italian food.

How to make a basic dough italian style or a basic tomato sauce with the classic Lasagna and how to cook the perfect pasta.

Which pasta to use and what ingredients to use for the classic pasta dish that you get from a traditional Italian restaurant without today's new modern twists.

Featuring 100 classic and traditional recipes with a section on pasta and sauces.

Lesley, mother of three, is a passionate home cook who loves making and sharing meals and recipes with family and friends. This collection of recipes is the result of that passion to teach others the basics they'll need in the kitchen so they can prepare budget-friendly, quick and easy weeknight meals or classic family recipes.

Many of Lesley's recipes have been handed down by her mother and her grandmother, and there is a recipe to satisfy everyone's taste.

With her years of experience fine-tuning her skills as a member of a gourmet-cooking club, she learned how to cook on a budget and feed a family as a working mother.
