American Sfoglino

Praise for American Sfoglino: “Evan shares his deep love and respect for the traditions of hand-rolled pasta in American Sfoglino, where every single shape—from the squiggle of strozzapretti to the parcel of cestini—is explained with care and love, and where each recipe jumps off the page with appetite-inducing beauty.” Danny Meyer, James Beard award-winning restaurateur and author“There is something so simple and evocative about Evans cooking that comes across the same when you thumb through the pages of this book. It just warms the soul!”Marc Vetri, James Beard award-winning chef, restaurateur, and author “Evan’s flawless pasta transforms grain into solid gold”Chris Bianco, James Beard award-winning chef and author
