Lidia's Italy

Pasta By Any Name

In this episode Lidia travels to the region of Abruzzo, where she goes from the highlands to the seashore exploring the beautiful scenery and fresh food. First, she takes us to the mountains to make homemade maccheroni in a meat sauce consisting of pork, plump tomatoes and fresh vegetables. Then we head to the coast, where Chef Fortunato Nicotra of Felidia helps Lidia in the kitchen, as she prepares paccheri with fresh clams, mussels, shrimp, and scallops - and don't forget to add the touch of saffron!
