The Fall Cookbooks We've Been Waiting All Summer For

After tasting the ricotta-stuffed tortelli with peas and ramps at LA's Trattoria Felix, I understood the hype: Evan Funke is a pasta genius. In American Sfoglino, he dives deep into the art of hand-rolled pasta, sharing his knowledge as a trained sfoglino (the Italian word for “maker of fresh pasta sheets”). He starts with four foundational doughs, then moves through 14 shapes, from tagliatelle to caramelle to gnocchi, and the sauces that suit them best (think pappardelle with wild boar ragù and triangoli with honey and aged pecorino). If you’re looking for a fall cooking project, stop here. —Molly Baz, senior associate food editor
