NIGELLA EXPRESS - HEY PESTO
Episode 3 of 13
BBC-2 / Monday 17 September 2007 @ 8.30pm
Nigella Lawson conjures up dazzling Italian food in a flash – from sensational pasta to an entire, effortless feast – as her series continues. She cooks, she shops, she entertains and shares fabulous fast-cooking tips.
Childhood trips to the Italian gardens in London's Hyde Park with her granny were always followed by a steaming bowl of chicken cacciatore. It's an action replay for Nigella's kids – the big difference is the express version of the Italian classic. It's the work of minutes, not hours.
Nigella also makes "pasta pronto", linguine with a sensational raw sauce of lemon, garlic and thyme mushrooms.
Dinner with a friend is so fast that Nigella even fits in some late-night shopping. She makes Calabrian lamb cutlets in a spicy marinade followed by clouds of softly whipped Amaretto syllabub.
Then comes a fabulous, no-stress, no-effort anti pasti feast in the Italian style in which only one dish, masala honey pears with Gorgonzola, is home made.
Nigella also reveals the secrets of her drinks cabinet – the booty from Italian holidays and the liqueur she drank as a chambermaid in Florence.
This is the expressway to Italian food, illustrated with specially shot scenes. It's Italy at home with pizzazz and style made fast and easy.
