3hAbout this experience
Join us for a fun, hands-on class where we'll make two delicious types of stuffed pasta, before sitting down to a multi-course meal!
First we'll make tortelli, a traditional square shaped pasta from Tuscany often stuffed with potatoes and served with ragu. Tonight we'll be making a (slightly) lighter version that's perfect for the late Fall season - with baked winter squash on the inside and finished with butter, sage and a touch of nutmeg.
The second pasta we'll be making is agnolotti del plin from Piedmont - a little fancier and requiring a bit more finesse, but Chef Daniela will patiently guide us through it! These delicate agnolotti are stuffed with minced meat and then folded and "pinched" (plin in Piemontese) and then served in a simple homemade broth.
When we're done making the two pasta dishes together, you will sit down to enjoy the meal, accompanied by a seasonal side dish, and finished with a little dolce to complete the meal.
