Pasta for the People

Pasta for the People is a delicious collection of fuss-free pasta recipes from your favourite chefs and recipe creators.

Pasta is comfort—easy, familiar, endlessly satisfying. But too often we get stuck in the loop of the same recipes: a trusty bolognese, a jar of pesto, the reliable carbonara. What if pasta could be more?

This book is an invitation to rethink pasta: to explore fresh flavours, global influences, and unexpected pairings that bring new joy to the table. From their home in Cumbria, Northern Pasta Co. has pioneered spelt pasta made from British grains, and in their first cookbook, they share recipes of their own alongside favourites from celebrated chefs and food creators, including:

Max La Manna's Zesty Radiatori Summer Salad

Olia Hercules's Rigatoni from Napoli via Genoa & Odesa

Izzie Cox's Miso Gochujang Pumpkin Rigatoni

Helen Graham's Tomato & Tamarind Gigli

Tom Jackson's Slow-cooked Courgette Casarecce

Saliha Khan's Desi Meema Rigatoni

From sauce-hugging shapes to bold, flavour-packed combinations, these recipes prove pasta is never boring. It's time to fall in love with it all over again.
