I invite you into my kitchen with a seasonal specialty - Shaved Artichoke, Spinach & Mortadella Salad. Lidia reminds Ethan that mastering Spaghetti with Garlic & Oil can make for endless possibilities with little effort for big flavor. She makes her weeknight twist on a meatloaf - Skillet Ricotta Mini-Meat Loaves. Showstopping and easy go hand in hand with Lidia’s warm welcoming meal.
