About this Dish:
Handmade Southern pasta made from just semolina and water is a rustic, sun-kissed staple: coarse, golden semolina is mixed with just enough water to form a firm, springy dough, then shaped by hand into ridged orecchiette, twisted cavatelli, or rough-cut trofie. The result is a deeply textured pasta that clings to simple sauces, offers a pleasantly nutty bite, and reflects the soulful simplicity of traditional coastal kitchens where quality ingredients and careful hands do all the flavor work.

In this Class You Will:
• Learn about the traditions and culture of handmade pasta
• Observe as our Scuola Chef demonstrates how to make handmade pasta
• Enjoy a family-friendly menu featuring antipasti with a glass of Prosecco for adults, non-alcoholic drinks for younger guests.
• Take home the recipe(s) from the class
