Bonacini's Italy (2018)

Episode Overview

Le Marche, a lesser-known gem in central Italy, boasts a cuisine influenced by both northern and southern flavors. Chef Michael Bonacini begins with Stuffed Artichokes, which are filled with a delicious blend of prosciutto, Pecorino cheese, and breadcrumbs, all topped with a drizzle of white wine—absolutely irresistible. He then prepares a unique take on a classic with Marche-style Lasagna, a rich dish brimming with earthy Italian mushrooms, cream, and savory pancetta. For the secondo, he serves Fish Stew Ancona Style, a delightful mix of fresh seafood that often includes thirteen different types of fish. To wrap up the meal, Michael showcases one of his favorite dishes, Beef Tournedos Rossini—a French creation perfected in Le Marche, known for its tender and hearty flavors.
