Pasta is a perfect dish all year round, but come Spring you might want to lighten things up with the vegetables of the season. Don't worry, these recipes are still layered with flavor, cheese and cream. Use a lighter hand, and your Summer clothing will thank you for doing so. I have also included some very nifty cooks tools that any top chef would love. Mangia!
If you are like me, you may be wondering what is fazzoletti? Nothing too fancy, fazzoletti is just pasta sheets cut in squares. We can do that, right? I love the deconstructed look of this very modern dish.

Could anything look more fresh? An interesting note, this recipe was the 1975 creation of Sirio Maccioni of famed Le Cirque restaurant in New York City.
Saveur
What's a pasta dish without a little vino? This trio consists of three 90+ rated wines. I have personally gifted this set with rave reviews.

This automated machine takes the hard work out of pasta making. Wouldn't it be fun to own one?

Quinoa is full of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, fibre, antioxidants, and phytonutrients making it lighter but more nutritious than risotto rice. I realize that risotto is not pasta, but it makes a darn delicious substitute.

This easy to create pasta dish gets its creaminess from mascarpone, ricotta, and fresh Parmesan cheese. It would make a chic choice as a first course for company.
How Sweet It Is
I think this pot is genius. There is room for the pasta to be totally submersed in water from the get go. And the built in pouring spout is such a helpful detail. This is also the best price I can find on this perfect pot.

Chosen because this image is just too pretty to pass up. This recipe calls for something called "raw blue swimmer crabs." I wonder if my fishmonger at Whole Foods carries them?
Gourmet Traveller
With a prep time of only 20 minutes, this is a very sophisticated looking dish. Simple but impressive.
Bon Appetit
This colorful recipe is topped off with a bubbling sauce of cream, fresh plum tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.

My mother had something like these. Authentic from Italy, this set makes it easy to seal and cut ravioli in one motion.

Forget 30 minute meals. This fresh find can be done in half the time.
Half Baked Harvest
For the contemporary cook. The set comes with a saucepan, a lid, a spoon, a trivet and cookbook.

This recipe leans on the onion-y flavor of the ramps that is infused into the pasta. The mint adds the brightness of Spring.
