My new cookbook LIDIA’S THE ART OF PASTA is here! This book is a love letter to one of my greatest joys—pasta. Inside you’ll find recipes that honor tradition, share family stories, and invite you to bring the heart of Italy into your own kitchen. I can’t wait for you to cook, taste, and gather around the table with these dishes. ❤️ Learn more here - linktr.ee/lidiabastianich. #lidiastheartofpasta #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly (Photos by Dana Gallagher) | Lidia Bastianich

The one-hour primetime special premieres Dec. 18 at 8/7c on @PBS. https://pbs.org/lidia #LidiasReci
