Fasta Pasta deserves 10 stars. The book doesn't. The book is a small number of pretentious pasta recipes that have little or nothing to do with the wonderful Fasta Pasta cooker. They're just recipes that could could be made with pasta cooked by any means. The recipes are OK but the price per recipe is very high relative to any first rate Italian cookbook. The direction for creative use of the Fasta are minimal. There is almost no guidance for using this unique gadget for rice, potatoes, vegetables or anything but plain pasta to be added to other ingredients. This book could have been written by someone who had never used a Fasta Pasta.
