The aroma of toasted bread and fragrant herbs fills the air, whetting the participants’ appetites for the fettuccine pasta yet to come. With the starter course prepared, the group is ready to dive into the main event – making their own fresh pasta from scratch.
Main Pasta Dishes: Fettuccine and Maltagliati
With the bruschetta starter out of the way, participants eagerly await the main pasta-making event. The chef begins by explaining the two classic pasta shapes they’ll be creating – fettuccine and maltagliati.
Fettuccine, a long, ribbon-like pasta, is a staple in Roman cuisine and pairs beautifully with rich, creamy sauces like the traditional Cacio e Pepe.
Maltagliati, or ‘badly cut,’ is an irregularly shaped pasta that’s perfect for rustic, tomato-based sauces like the flavorful Amatriciana.
Under the chef’s expert guidance, the class learns the proper techniques for rolling, cutting, and shaping these iconic pasta varieties by hand.
Once the fresh pasta is prepared, participants eagerly await the chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor, savoring each bite of the authentic Italian dishes.
Beverage and Dessert Options
