Pasta is an easy go-to weeknight meal, and Aida shows us three innovative twists on classic pasta dishes. Sage Butter Macaroni and Four Cheese is a decadent and delicious take on mac and cheese. Pasta with Citrus-Herb Sauce is a light tangle of thin spaghetti and fresh herbs. Then it’s a crowd pleaser – Rigatoni with Creamy Eggplant and Mozzarella.
Giada proves how marinades and sauces can take dinner from delicious to dazzling. Pan-seared fish takes on a new flavor in a citrus and anchovy bath. Steaks sing in an Italian red wine sauce. Even vegetables get apick-me-up in an herb vinaigrette.
Growing up in Rome, Giada’s family had lemon trees and fresh herbs in their garden. Giada takes that memory and makes a delicious meal inspired by her childhood Italian garden for her American friends. A delicious menu of Swordfish with Citrus Pesto, Lemon-Nut Cookies, Herb Salad and Parmesan, Basil and Lemon Wafers are sure to bring Giada and her friends back to those carefree Italian days.
