"Evan Funke's respect for tradition and detail makes American Sfoglino the perfect introduction to the fresh egg pastas of Emilia Romagna. It's bold in its simplicity and focus." - Missy Robbins, chef/owner of Lilia and MISI


A comprehensive guide to making the best pasta in the world:
In this debut cookbook from Evan Funke, he shares classic techniques
from his Emilia Romagna training and provides accessible instructions
for making his award winning sfoglia (sheet pasta) at home. With little more than flour, eggs, and a rolling pin, you too can be a sfoglino (a pasta maker) and create traditional Italian noodles that are perfectly paired with the right sauces.



Features recipes for home cooks to recreate 15 classic pasta shapes, spanning simple pappardelle to perfect tortelloni.



Beginning with four foundational doughs, American Sfoglino
takes readers step by step through recipes for a variety of generous
dishes, from essential sauces and broths, like Passata di Pomodoro
(Tomato Sauce) and Brodo di Carne (Meat Broth) to luscious Tagliatelle
in Bianco con Prosciutto (Tagliatelle with Bacon and Butter) and Lasagna
Verde alla Bolognese (Green Bolognese Lasagna).



Includes stories
from Italy and the kitchen at Felix Trattoria that add the finishing
touches to this master class in pasta, while sumptuous photographs and a
bold package offer a feast for the eyes.



Forget your pasta
machine and indulge in the magic of being a sfoglino with the help of
the rich imagery and detailed instructions provided by Evan Funke and American Sfoglino.



Makes an excellent gift idea for any pasta aficionado or avid Italian cook.
