Wheat Harvest and Pasta

Lidia talks about the harvest of wheat, and the making of fllour and eventually bread and pasta. She fondly reflects on her moments with Grandma Rosa during her trips to the mill. Lidia turns leftover bread into croutons with her Caesar salad with Baby Kale and Focaccia Croutons. She then prepares a flavor-packed Fusilli with Spinach and Herbed Ricotta, and Lagane Pasta with Chickpeas.
