Learn the basic techniques of making fresh pasta by hand in your own kitchen; no machine necessary, just a rolling pin and muscle. You will first learn the techniques for making fresh dough, and then how to form a variety of shapes such as Orcchiette, Cavatelli Garganelli, and bows. In addition you will make sauces to match the different pasta shapes.
We will bring out the artist in each of us and it will all taste delicious! It’s simple, delicious, and fun for all generations!
This is a participatory cooking class. A small group of 3-4 students will work together at each cooking station to complete the recipes on the night's menu.
"Adele evokes the culinary spirit of my Italian heritage. I experience flashbacks of childhood memories of all-day preparation by multigenerational multitudes milling about in the crazy kitchen for a togetherness to enliven and, well, entertain the senses in anticipation of a transformative culinary extravaganza."
Adele grew up in a multi-generational Italian family in Philadelphia. Once a "picky eater" she has grown to love the foods celebrating her heritage and relishes in sharing the joys of an Italian kitchen with others.
