This book is a love letter to my family and my community (I’m looking at you, gorgeous!); it will take you on a journey through Italy, to all my favorite corners of my beautiful homeland.As for recipes? Yes, there are MANY, most of which have been in my family for generations. What you might not expect about this cookbook is that it is about so much more than the recipes alone. We’ll travel on a journey together, learning the history of pasta, the importance of using quality ingredients and the tips and tricks you need to cook and entertain like Pasta Royalty.

In the first-ever cookbook from TikTok star and social media sensation Nadia Caterina Munno—a.k.a. The Pasta Queen—is opening the recipe box from her online trattoria to share the dishes that have made her pasta royalty. In this delectable antipasto platter of over 100 recipes, cooking techniques, and the tales behind Italy’s most famous dishes (some true, some not-so-true), Nadia guides you through the process of creating the perfect pasta, from a bowl of naked noodles to a dish large and complex enough to draw tears from the gods. Whether it’s her viral Pasta Al Limone, a classic Carbonara, or a dish that’s entirely Nadia’s—like her famous Assassin’s Spaghetti—The Pasta Queen’s recipes will enchant even the newest of pasta chefs.

Featuring a colorful tour of Italy through stunning photographs and celebratory tales of the country’s rich culinary heritage, along with stories about Nadia’s own life and family, The Pasta Queen is a cookbook that will warm your heart, soothe your soul, and spice up your life. And best of all? It’s just gorgeous.
