Today Giada's getting together with her family to reminisce and recreate some of her family's favorite recipes. A simple pasta with greens and black pepper, jumbo shrimp coated in a summery pesto, and a family specialty: fluffy, baked spinach strata, plus a divine Italian Cheesecake for dessert.
Known for their Los Angeles pop-up dinners, Jake and Jussie Smollet are debuting their seventh pop-up experience at the famed Hollywood Improv Comedy Club. Using Jake's trip to Italy as inspiration, the brothers create a showstopping three-course meal. With a Zucchini Carpaccio appetizer and Lemon Sorbet dessert, they go fancy for their main course, Homemade Tarragon Fettuccine and a Vodka Cream Sauce, topped with lobster. It's a tough crowd of patrons and fans at the Improv and creating a good meal is no laughing matter.
