We had Denise Taylor's Pasta in a pinch and it was very enjoyable. Each week since I discovered this website I have tried one or two of the recipes posted here and most of them are very enjoyable. One tip that I suggest. If you like to add salt to your cooking, try lo-salt. It tastes the same as ordinary salt but does not cause the problems that they say ordinary salt does. My own family have been using it for some years.
