While the Pasta Cooks: 100 Sauces So Easy You Can Prepare the Sauce in the Time It Takes to Cook the Pasta

Authors Andrew Schloss and Ken Bookman present 100 wonderful pasta sauces that are prepared and finished in the time it takes to boil the water and cook the pasta. In fact, many of these recipes are so easy, the sauce is finished in just 5 or 10 minutes, giving you time to chop up a salad and set the table, too. How is this possible? Using the right ingredients and techniques, as the authors explain, these recipes are easy enough for even beginner cooks to master. Tips include using fresh herbs to impart flavor quickly and having blocks of cheese like Parmesan and Romano to add a delicious finishing touch without extra cooking. Vegetables such as spinach and broccoli are cooked in the same pot of boiling water as the pasta, saving time and effort. If the perennial question is "What's for dinner?" and if "pasta" is always the perfect answer, then recipes like Dill and Potato Sauce, Sausage in White Clam Sauce, Lemon Scallop Sauce, and Pecorino Spinach Sauce will help you make your point deliciously. And best of all, with While the Pasta Cooks, you'll have dinner on the table before anyone has a chance to ask that other dinnertime question, "Is it ready yet?"
