This is the ultimate book of pasta. With over 100 recipes - all pasta - it is for pasta lovers everywhere. There are recipes for simple weeknight store-cupboard pastas, such as Spaghetti with Garlic, Capers & Black Pepper and there are recipes for mastering fresh pasta from scratch, like Ravioli of Ricotta with Sage Butter.
Padella are Londons most iconic fresh pasta restaurants. When they first opened in Borough Market in 2016 they put sensational pasta on the map thanks to iconic dishes like Beef Shin Ragu and Pici Cacio e Pepe. These delicious recipes, paired with their buzzy ambience and stylish aesthetic, saw queues around the block.
This book brings the magic of Padella into home cooking. It includes all their best loved recipes such as Tagliarini with Crab, Chilli, Lemon & Parsley, and Fettucine with Nduja, Lemon & Mascapone along with many off-menu favourites shared in this book for the first time. Most importantly it teaches home cooks the simple steps to take home cooked pasta to the next level.
Recipes that are a joy to prepare and to polish off. Theyve bottled up the Padella magic and made it available to us all. Complimenti! * Yotam Ottolenghi *
Even in food-stuffed Borough, Padella stands out. Youll find me in a corner with an expression of glazed lust, hoovering up worms of pici like a deranged cuckoo. And Ill have already put in an order for a second plateful. * Marina O'Loughlin, Guardian *
Probably the best pasta in London * A.A. Gill, Sunday Times *
Its a formula that should be everywhere, but is actually rarer than hens teeth. * Grace Dent, Evening Standard *
Since he graduated from the first intake at Jamie Oliver's Fiteen, Tim Siadatan has become synonymous with bold Italian cooking. After a year and a half at the iconic St John restaurant he went on to work at Moro, before opening Trullo with his good friend and business partner Jordan Frieda in June 2010.
In 2016 he and his business partner Jordan Frieda opened the first Padella in London's Borough Market. It was the culmination of their long held dream to open a pasta bar serving fresh, hand rolled pasta with delicious sauces and fillings inspired by their trips to Italy.
One of the first international food tourist destinations established in the early days of the Instagram food revolution its original Borough Market branch has had non-stop queues since day one. Having been taught by the best, Tim and his chefs have maintained the highest quality, as proven by the continued popularity of the restaurants.
