When you think pasta, don’t you think Italian? Pasta is an essential staple of the Italian kitchen and Italian family life and hospitality revolves around food. The Italian table is both romantic and lively, with a spontaneity unmatched in almost any other cuisine. The simplest meal is served in a beautifully colorful presentation, with flowers and candles to add a festive, yet intimate note. Pasta gift baskets can get your favorite couple off to a lifetime of deliciously easy meals, setting the perfect tone for that after dinner cup of espresso out on the balcony. What a lovely and inspiring gift for the newlyweds! Here are a few suggestions on putting together a pasta gift basket that will form a family tradition of good eating, Italian style.
The first inclusion in your pasta gift basket should be a recipe book for pasta sauces. The recipes for the sauce usually contain a recommendation for the type of pasta that works best for any given sauce. One excellent choice would be ‘The Top 100 Pasta Sauces’, by Diane Seed. Every recipe is luscious, authentic, easy and oh, so romantic.
