Everybody loves pasta – especially when it’s this quick.

Take your pasta game to the next level with this collection of speedy, easy and exciting recipes from The Pasta Man, Mateo Zielonka. With Pasta Pronto, whip up Spaghetti with Prawns, Chilli and Garlic in less than 20 minutes, Tagliarini with Basil and Pumpkin Pesto in 30, and, for days when you have a bit more time, Pappardelle Short Rib Ragu, which is sure to please a hungry crowd.

Each of the 55 recipes includes fresh and dried pasta alternatives – meaning even less time spent in the kitchen – as well as easy-to-find ingredients and straightforward step-by-steps. You can make everything from the sauce to the fillings (and even the dough, if you like) with little effort, lots of flavour, and in no time at all.
