As simple a dish as this is, I have had requests for it in all my restaurants as far back as I can remember. I like the sauce a little feisty, so I’m generous with the crushed red pepper. You can add as much—or as little—as you like. Often, restaurant chefs finish this dish by swirling butter into the sauce at the end. You can do the same or use olive oil to finish the sauce. I prefer olive oil, but I probably don’t have to tell you that by now. Link to video and recipe in my bio.

Baked Rigatoni and Zucchini. Today you get zucchini year-round, so it’s easy to make this dish for the family at any time of the year. To balance it further, add some protein, such as swordfish, shrimp, crumbled sausages, or shredded chicken breast. You can add as little or as much of each ingredient to this recipe as you want, to satisfy your nutritional preferences and, of course, your taste. Buon Gusto!

Happy Easter! Buona Pasqua! I love a good frittata on Easter morning and what makes this one different is the bread. It soaks up the egg and cream and gives the frittata a firm but still tender texture. Enjoy! Link to recipe in my bio. #LidiasItaly #LidiasKitchen #LidiasRecipes #HappyEaster 💐🌷🪻🌹
This dish is a always a family favorite, perfect for a Memorial Day celebration. The recipe is easy to multiply, it keeps well, and, most importantly these days, it’s economical. This pasta can be dressed several hours ahead, but hold about half of the dressing to toss in at the last minute, since the pasta will have absorbed much of the first batch.

This recipe is especially great in the spring time, when the beans are still fresh and abundantly available. I don’t think there has ever been a buffet-style meal at my house where this salad has not been on the table, and rarely is there any left over. I enjoy this recipe when made with warm shrimp and beans, but these can both be cooked and chilled in advance, perfect during these warm summer months. Join me in my kitchen as I make it here.

Spaghetti Caruso. This easy and simply delicious pasta is named for the famous Italian opera singer, Enrico Caruso, who created it. It is made with San Marzano tomatoes, mushrooms, peas, onions, and an addition of chicken liver. Always a family favorite, It makes ME want to sing! And I share the secret of choosing the correct pasta shape and cooking it perfectly every time. Link to recipe and video in my bio. Buon Gusto! .

Here’s one of my favorite summer pasta recipes – Orecchiette with Asparagus, Peas and Shrimp. If you can get fresh peas you can substitute them for the frozen, but cook them 3 or 4 minutes more. Adding the shrimp makes this a heartier (but still light and elegant) pasta entrée. Link to recipe and full video in my profile. Buon Appetito! #TuttiaTavolaaMangiare #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #LidiasKitchen #LidiaBastianich #ItalianFood
Gluttonous Tomatoes. This is a perfect dish for brunch, especially when you have a house full of people. Set the filled tomatoes in the oven and, when done, bring the roasting pan full of bubbling tomatoes to the table; there will be a run on these tomatoes. Tutti a Tavola a Mangiare!

You know I love soup, and I love cauliflower, so for me this is a match made in heaven. This delicious vegetarian soup is substantial enough to please most meat eaters; however, you can also add some diced smoked sausage (like kielbasa) or shellfish (shrimp or scallops would be nice). And – we enjoy a visit from my wonderful late mother, Nonna Erminia. Buon Gusto!

Marinated Mushrooms with Rosemary, Orange & Garlic – I always like to have small bites on hand for guests, especially for family dinners, and these mushrooms will keep about a week in the fridge. You can make a large batch and use them in various ways – on a sandwich or in a salad, as part of a party antipasto spread, or as a nibble with cocktails. Join me in my kitchen as I make them here – you can find the video and ull recipe in my bio.

I love this dish I discovered on a visit to Puglia. In the quaint seaside city of Trani, along the Adriatic shoreline, is a delightful restaurant called Le Lampare. There I was introduced to Farro con Legumi e Cozze, a beautiful stew of ceci and cannellini beans cooked with farro, one of my favorite grains, tossed before serving with savory mussels and their juices. Perfect for a weekend get together. Link to video and recipe in my bio. Enjoy! #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #LidiasKitchen #LidiaBastianich #ItalianFood #25YearsofLidia #FromLidiasTableToYours #LidiasSoundtrack
Ziti with Tuna Ascoli Style. Another classic pasta recipe from the archives that’s easy to prepare and perfect for the weekend. Ascoli is a city in the Marche region known for its big green olives. They add a distinctive local flavor to this deliciously simple sauce of tomatoes and canned tuna, a pasta dressing found in many regions of Italy. Buon Gusto!

Polenta with Broccoli and Bacon. I love Polenta, it’s versatile, delicious and goes with everything – I should know I grew up on it! Corn is a food from the New World—it only came to Italy after the discovery of the Americas. But you could never tell the people from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the region I hail from, that polenta is not Friulian. So much so that the Friulianos are called polentoni, polenta eaters. Join me in my kitchen as I show you how to make one of my favorite variations – video link in my bio. Buon Gusto!

While it’s always preferable to make your sauce from scratch, sometimes you just don’t have the time. Lidia’s sauces are made from the finest organic ingredients; organic Italian tomatoes and California garlic, extra virgin olive oil, Basil and sweet carrots, simmered to perfection.
