American Sfoglino

American Sfoglino by Evan Funke is a comprehensive guide to handmade Italian pasta, focusing on the ancient art of sfoglia—the tradition of rolling pasta by hand with a wooden rolling pin as practiced in Emilia-Romagna. The book covers foundational doughs and a range of classic pasta shapes including tagliatelle, tortellini, and lasagne, accompanied by traditional sauces and fillings. It is notable for bringing this meticulous, often overlooked craft to an American audience, with Funke drawing on his training in Bologna to emphasize technique and authenticity.
