All in the Family

Pasta is the true language of Italy, the great connector. While it is nearly impossible to trace the origin of every pasta type, one theory claims they fit into eight families according to shape and region.

The photographs in All in the Family highlight a quintessential dish from each pasta family in their most natural setting—surrounded by loved ones and lively conversation.
