Genarro Contaldo

Gennaro Contaldo is widely known as the charismatic Italian legend who taught Jamie Oliver all he knows about Italian cooking, as well as a renowned personality in his own right. His quintessentially Italian spirit and positive nature has made him a firm TV favourite. He famously teamed up with the great Antonio Carluccio as Two Greedy Italians as well as Saturday Kitchen and Jamie Cooks Italy.

Gennaro’s Pasta Perfecto! is his celebration of one of the most popular of all Italian dishes, bursting with recipes for lasagne four ways, pasta salads, classic minestrone soup, homemade ravioli and perfect pesto.  An inexpensive staple that can be easily transformed into a luxurious meal, the possibilities of pasta are endless – perfect for busy families and for easy entertaining.
