Details from our Chefs:
Italian cuisine is one of our favorites! The first thing we love about it are the flavors, the second is that while traditional Italian dishes keep it simple using only a few fresh ingredients - the possibilities are endless! We’re going to make the ultimate comfort food together: pasta! From scratch!
Hear us out... yes, we know it’s easy to open up a box of dry pasta, but fresh pasta is worth the extra effort. The flavor and texture of fresh pasta is far superior to pasta out of a package.
We’ll also guide you through a few of the most valuable techniques in the kitchen, such as knife skills. Learning how to properly handle and use your chef knife can change everything you do in the kitchen. And then we’ll finish it off with a delicious pasta dish that’s so good you’ll put it into your dinner repertoire. We can’t wait to cook with you!
