Let's make pasta!
Apron tied? Glass of wine poured? Let’s meet our hosts, the master chefs Denyse and Roberto, today they will teach you all the tricks and share their secrets to prepare the best homemade pastas ever.
Although it looks very easy on paper, without the proper teaching your pasta dishes can go from “Yes, please” to a heartbreaking “No, thanks” in a snap of a finger. It starts with the ingredients selection, our chefs will share with you a list of the key ingredients and the most useful kitchen tools they use themselves. Regardless of the fact that your cooking is more basic than transcendental, you can always impress the harshest food critics with these pasta skills, especially those ever hungry young critics. What’s better, you can even convey those critics to help you in the process and turn the afternoon into a fond family memory.
During this one hour pasta class Denyse and Roberto will teach the reasons why the shapes of the pastas are important and how to create the perfect balance and harmony between the sauce and the pastas. Few people realize how important that pairing is to the success of their dish. During this class not only will you learn to love our fantastic chefs but you will be given the chance to discuss openly with the other participants and learn from their perspective as well.
After only one hour you will become the best Pastaio (pasta maker) around the block and all this simply by taking part in this amazing and tasty virtual class.
*Please note. To help better prepare, we thought you might want to look at some of the recipes ahead of time--you will be sent a recipe document 48 hours prior to your tour. You may choose to "cook-along" with our Chefs, or might just want to follow along--your choice!
Due to shortages of ingredients in Italy (where our Chefs are based!) the toppings on the pizza, types of pasta, or sauce (ex: pesto, tomato, puttanesca, arrabbiata, bolognese) made in the class could vary.*
