In-Person Class: Pici Pasta with Cacio e Pepe (NYC)

Pici cacio e pepe is a simple yet technically challenging dish with roots in ancient Roman pastoral traditions. Originating from the shepherds of the Roman countryside, cacio e pepe was a practical and nourishing meal made with readily available ingredients: dried pasta (often pici), aged Pecorino Romano cheese, and black pepper. The dish's simplicity belies the skill required to create its signature creamy sauce, a delicate emulsion of cheese, pepper, and starchy pasta water.

In this fun and hands-on class, we will explore the process of hand-rolling pici pasta, emphasizing the importance of achieving the ideal texture and chew, while also delving into the nuances of creating the emulsified sauce, focusing on the precise balance of ingredients. Once you have created your masterpiece, you will then plate, garnish and devour your creations with your fellow foodies joining you for this delicious cooking party! You will gain insight on how to source fresh, seasonal ingredients and specialty spices in order to recreate the perfect Italian date night at home.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you do not already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who is happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only.
