Lidia takes the traditional Summer Panzanella a step further with the addition of roasted zucchini & onions. Lidia shares her Fennel Parmigiana recipe with her grandson Lorenzo. Classic puttanesca is a quick, bold, spicy sauce that pairs well with more than just spaghetti. Lidia gets creative and serves it with tuna, eggplant, and zucchini.
