FYI’s “Instant Italian” continues its mission to streamline Italian cooking for the modern home cook. This Monday’s episode, “Pastabilities,” finds host Anna Lucia Calabria putting a fresh spin on pasta, a comfort food staple. Forget long simmering sauces and complicated preparations; Anna’s all about speed and flavor.
On the menu: Frittatina, a dish that transforms leftover pasta into a crispy, snackable treat. It’s pasta, but not as you know it. Anna will also demonstrate a sheet pan pasta recipe featuring cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic, and mascarpone, a simple yet elegant weeknight meal.
Drawing inspiration from her childhood visits to family in Calabria, Anna brings a personal touch to her cooking, balancing traditional techniques with modern shortcuts. “Instant Italian” isn’t about sacrificing flavor for convenience; it’s about making delicious Italian food accessible to everyone.
“Instant Italian: Pastabilities” airs Monday, March 10th at 9:30 PM on FYI.
