Her programs air on PBS and, while she's not an entertainer, Lidia is a teacher and she sure can cook. Some of her recipes are outstanding.

Adapted from 'Lidia's Mastering the Art of Italian Cooking' by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich and Tanya Bastianich Manuali, which we reviewed in 2016. Thanks to Bastianich’s technique of tempering the egg yolks with hot pasta, this recipe is foolproof. I did make one tweak: Her recipe calls for optional sliced scallions (shown in the photo above). I’ve nipped them out, as I feel the dish is perfect without them.
We put the new cookbook Lidia’s Celebrate Like An Italian to the test, and found recipes that will soon become staples. Pass the roasted olives.
