"Italian Favorites" - Is there anyone who doesn’t love Italian food? In this episode, Martha shares her modern take on four favorites: a decadent eight-layer pork ragù and béchamel-filled lasagna baked in individual ramekins, chicken parmesan with an easy twist, an enormous raviolo with an egg yolk and rich ricotta-spinach filling, and two variations of linguine with clam sauce — red and white. Each is guaranteed to be a hit with friends and family.
