Reclaim the Heart of the Italian Sunday: A Masterclass in Gnocchi and Lasagna.
In Italy, Sunday morning has a specific scent: it’s the aroma of slow-cooked ragù and the dusting of flour on a wooden board. It’s the ritual of the Sunday Lunch—a time when generations gather to transform simple ingredients into edible art.
Chef Gianni Gusto returns with the most sentimental volume of his collection, Homemade Gnocchi & Lasagna. This is not just a cookbook; it is an invitation to slow down, get your hands in the dough, and rediscover the meditative joy of crafting pasta from scratch.
Designed for the discerning home cook, this manual offers:
The “Pillow” Secret: Master the elusive art of the potato gnocchi. Gianni reveals how to achieve that ethereal, light-as-air texture, avoiding the common pitfalls of “gummy” or heavy dough.
The Architecture of Lasagna: Learn to build the perfect lasagna, from the silk-thin sfoglia (egg pasta) to the balanced layers of creamy Béchamel and rich meats.
Mastering the Tools: A deep dive into the traditional Italian kitchen—learn why a wooden spianatoia and a ridged gnocchi board are your best allies.
25 Heritage Recipes: From the legendary Lasagna alla Bolognese to the vibrant Beetroot Gnocchi with Goat Cheese and the coastal elegance of Seafood Lasagna.
Chef’s Secrets: Pro-tips on choosing the right starchy potatoes, managing moisture, and the essential 30-minute rest for a stress-free dough.
Written with the warmth of a professional mentor and the nostalgia of a childhood in Italy, this book provides the technical precision and the soulful inspiration needed to create a masterpiece.
