If you have never made CAVATELLI, this class will definitely be for you! CAVATELLI, a traditional Italian pasta shape, is not only delightful to eat but also a joy to make from scratch. In this engaging and hands-on class, we will delve into this pasta's rich history and cultural significance, exploring its origins and how it has been lovingly crafted in Italian kitchens for generations. Together, we will learn the precise techniques required to create the perfect CAVATELLI dough, using simple yet high-quality ingredients that are easily accessible. You will be guided step-by-step through mixing, kneading, and shaping the dough into these charming little pasta pieces resembling small shells or gnocchi. As we work, I will share tips and tricks passed down through my family, including the best practices to ensure your CAVATELLI are tender yet firm, with the ideal texture to hold onto sauces beautifully. Once we have mastered the art of making CAVATELLI, we will transition to preparing a rich and flavorful tomato and sausage sauce that complements our handmade pasta perfectly. This sauce, infused with aromatic herbs and spices, will elevate the dish to new heights, making it a satisfying and hearty meal. Throughout the class, you will learn the techniques and stories behind them, as I share anecdotes about my nonna and her kitchen, where love and tradition were the main ingredients. By the end of our time together, you will leave with the skills and confidence to recreate this dish in your kitchen, impressing friends and family with your newfound culinary prowess. Whether you are a beginner or looking to enhance your pasta-making skills, this class promises to be a delightful and enriching experience that celebrates the joy of cooking and the beauty of Italian cuisine.
The class will also feature three distinct wine tastings, each carefully curated to highlight different regions, varietals, and winemaking techniques.
To conclude this enriching experience, the class will culminate in a delightful dinner where all participants can gather to savor their meal. Each course will be thoughtfully paired with a wine selected from the tastings, allowing attendees to appreciate the connections between food and wine fully. This dinner will celebrate the day’s learning and enable participants to share their thoughts and experiences, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among wine enthusiasts.
