Liguria is one of the smallest regions in Italy. Hugging the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, it is home to the glittering Italian Riviera and tasty dishes. For an antipasto, Chef Michael Bonacini prepares a soft, creamy chickpea flour flatbread called Farinata, that he tops with rosemary and crispy shallots. His pasta dish is a Ligurian specialty - decorative and delicious hand-stamped pasta coins. He tops the pasta with another iconic Ligurian invention: pesto. Basil and pine nuts crushed with olive oil and hard cheese is the perfect topper for any kind of pasta. And in Liguria, they love their fish, so Michael shows viewers how to make a salt-crusted snapper that's a wow at any dinner party. Finally, Michael whips up succulent veal stuffed with herbs and covered in a rich sauce.
