When Isabella Barbato was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018, she discovered the healing power of pasta-making. Grounded in tradition, nourishment, and care, this ancient art offers a chance to pause, to breathe, and to delight in creating a warming bowl of delicious comfort food.

Pasta Therapy includes chapters such as:

The Art of Pasta-Making: Take a crash-course in the world of pasta shapes as an art form and a means of healing. Select the right ingredients and master basic techniques. Get started with beginner-friendly recipes like Pappardelle with Lemon and Parmesan.

The Therapy of Tradition: Discover family heirloom recipes from the heart of Sicily, including classic dishes that have been passed through the generations like Nonna's Pasta al Forno coi Broccoli.

Mediterranean Mosaic: A showcase of flavours from across the Med, known for its nourishing diet, with dishes like Burnt Aubergine Tahini Casarecce.

The Spice of Life: Celebrate herbs and spices—and their therapeutic qualities. Discover these powerhouses with dishes like Radicchio and Caraway-Spiced Bechamel Lasagna.

Mindful Preparation: These dishes require a gentle touch and grounding in the moment, like Beet-filled Ravioli with Poppy Seed and Butter.

Healing Through Food: Guest stories and voices share recipes of courage and transformation, such as Quinoa Flour Tortelloni with Sweet Potato and Miso.

Beyond Nourishment: Recipes that are perfect for gathering with loved ones like sumptuous Chicche with Saffron Cream, Chilli, and Wild Mushrooms.
