[dcs_p]Pasta e Pasta is hosting Macomb County author, Patricia Bellomo, at their Chesterfield store on Wednesday, October 22, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]

 

The founder of Pasta e Pasta, Carlo DeAngelis, is a fan of Bellomo’s. “I’ve read every one of Patricia’s books,” say DeAngelis, who gets a kick out of the fact that he shares a surname with Bellomo’s character, Victor DeAngelis. Of course, Pasta e Pasta’s DeAngelis has little in common with Bellomo’s audacious Victor, who is definitely on the “muscle” end of things. [/dcs_p][dcs_p]

 

What Bellomo’s character and Pasta e Pasta’s founder do have in common is a love of food, and a talent for preparing it. According to Bellomo, “They’re both awesome cooks.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]

 

Carlo and his daughter, Carla DeAngelis, work as a team. Carla also happens to be the owner of Pasta e Pasta. Menu items prepared on site and available for purchase are old family recipes. Pasta is king, whether it’s in the form of lasagna, cannelloni, stuffed shells or ravioli. The DeAngelis’s also make a variety of homemade sauces and soups, distributing their products to local groceries and Italian markets. Except for the dry noodles and sauces, most items are frozen.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]

 

Bellomo’s suspense thrillers feature Italian characters. “They love to eat,” says the author. Inevitably, in every book there is a scene or two in which Victor is cooking a meal. Frequently, spaghetti is on the menu, with some kind of sauce simmering on the stove. And, like the real DeAngelis’s, Victor uses all natural ingredients.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]

 

“Because of Victor’s superb culinary skills, many of my readers assume I’m a good cook,” says Bellomo.  “But, the truth is, I’m too busy writing to cook. My passion is books.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]

 

That’s why Bellomo is doing a Books and Pasta night at the Chesterfield store. It’s meet the author, buy a book, get a taste of Italy. And it’s for a good cause, with fifteen percent of all proceeds being donated to American Breast Cancer Foundation.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]

 

Pasta e Pasta is located at 48712 Gratiot, in Chesterfield Township, just south of 22 Mile in the Kingston Plaza.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]

 

 

Bellomo’s books include Louie Morelli’s Mistress, Stella di Mare, and Louie Morelli’s Daughter. All books are available on Amazon.com,  in print and digital form. Also available at most bookstores and on all e-readers.  Also available overseas via AmazonUK and AmazonEU.
