Lidia's Kitchen
The 1980s Italian American “Evolution”
Season 8
Episode 817
The 1980s brought a lot of Northern Italian cuisine to New York City. This made Lidia feel at home, as a lot of the flavors central to her childhood were now with her in America. Today’s recipes include a Pasta Primavera “New School,” which her kids always loved growing up, and the classic Raspberry and Walnut Butter Cookies, a beloved Italian American staple.
