Welcome to Cooking with Marcella, where I cook my way through Marcella Hazan’s Italian recipes one dish at a time. I’m Lisa McLean, a clinical naturopath and lifelong cook, exploring the depth and honesty of Marcella’s approach to Italian home cooking. Today we look at her Baked Beetroots, a quietly perfect recipe that shows how a single ingredient, cooked with care, can become the heart of a meal.
