Bonacini's Italy (2018)

Episode Overview

Celebrity Chef Michael Bonacini delves into the delightful simplicity of Tuscan cuisine. In a traditional Tuscan kitchen, every ingredient is valued, prompting Michael to create Panzanella, a rustic salad that breathes new life into stale bread. He combines bread with olive oil, red wine vinegar, ripe Pomodoro tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and fresh basil for a vibrant dish. For the primo, he prepares Spinach Ricotta Gnudi, a unique twist on gnocchi, featuring ricotta and blanched spinach without the pasta shell. Michael then crafts a comforting Pepper Beef Stew using just seven ingredients, served alongside Fagioli All'Uccelletto, a flavorful bean dish. To round off the meal, he bakes Sea Bass with potatoes, leeks, and garlic for a satisfying finish.
