Join me for this hands-on class on Zoom to improve your pasta-making prowess. In this class we will make semolina pasta dough, typical of the Italian South. Just semolina and water ~ no fancy equipment, no rolling out thin sheets. Instead, we'll roll up our sleeves, mix and knead the dough by hand, and then shape it into cavatelli and orecchiette, with a focus on mastering the movements and techniques to make that classic "little ear” shape of the orecchiete—a challenging shape to get right!
We’ll also make a traditional sausage and rapini sauce to go with our pasta, and we’ll talk about a variety of other sauces that pair well with it, as well as other flours to incorporate into the basic dough for variation.
You will gain access to a private class information page that includes printable recipes and a list of ingredients and equipment needed a week before class. The day before, you will receive an email reminder with a link to the class on Zoom.
All classes take place on Zoom and generally run for 2 hours. Spaces are limited to 8 to 10, depending on the class, so that everyone can receive the individual instruction necessary to master pasta-making and shaping techniques.
If you’ve been wanting to learn how to make homemade pasta, or improve your shaping skills and technique, this class is for you.
