Ep 8. Italian Our Way

Guy Fieri is back with another episode of Guy's Big Bite, season 16, episode 8, titled "Italian Our Way." In this episode, Guy explores Italian cuisine with his signature style of cooking. He takes on classic dishes and adds his own spin to make them unique and flavorful.

The episode starts with Guy preparing his version of Italian meatballs. He uses a blend of beef, pork, and veal to make the meatballs moist and tender. He also adds some grated Parmesan cheese and uses Italian seasoning for an authentic flavor. The meatballs are then baked in the oven and served with a homemade marinara sauce.

Next, Guy cooks his version of chicken cacciatore, which he calls "Chicken Fieri-tore." He uses chicken thighs and legs for their robust flavor and cooks them with onions, garlic, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. He adds canned tomatoes and chicken broth to create a rich and hearty sauce. To finish the dish, he serves it with a side of polenta.

For the pasta dish, Guy makes a sausage and broccoli rabe pasta. He uses a hearty sausage and cooks it until it's browned and crispy. He then adds garlic, red pepper flakes, and broccoli rabe, sautéing them until they're tender. The dish is finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and served with spaghetti noodles.

For dessert, Guy makes a classic Italian dish, tiramisu, but with his own twist. He creates a coffee syrup and soaks ladyfingers in it before layering them with a creamy mascarpone cheese filling. He then finishes the dish with a dusting of cocoa powder.

Throughout the episode, Guy also shares tips and tricks for cooking Italian cuisine, such as using fresh herbs and adding a pinch of sugar to tomato-based sauces to cut down on the acidity.

In "Italian Our Way," Guy proves that Italian cuisine can be exciting and flavorful with a little creativity and experimentation. Whether you're a fan of classic Italian dishes or looking for new flavors and ideas, this episode of Guy's Big Bite is sure to satisfy.
