Let’s bring out your inner Italian!! Join me in my San Francisco kitchen-studio for an intimate, hands-on cooking class and learn how easy it is to make the best pizza and pasta right in your own home kitchen.
Over the years, I’ve been on a mission to discover just what makes the food of Italy so special-- especially when it comes to pizza and pasta. From North to South and West to East, I’ve learned from some of the best. At the famous Manuelina Ristorante in Naples, I learned combining the right flour, kneading technique, and a long, slow-rise overnight in the refrigerator will yield a crispy, yet chewy pizza crust. And in Bologna, I was lucky enough to get ahold of the simplest, most food-proof pasta recipe from my chef friend, Giovanna.
And since, then, I’ve been determined to share these tips from the masters so that anyone can replicate the deliciousness at home!
Once I show you the secrets to a great crust, we’ll get creative with seasonal toppings, like a Pizza with Mutti Tomatoes and Gorgonzola, another with Pizza with Broccolini, Hot Pepper and Fresh Pecorino. And finally, a pizza topped with an oh-so-decadent ingredient that my friend Ali will share with us! All I can say is that we may need to break out the bubbly;)
And then there’s the pasta! For me, there’s nothing else quite like it. In our class together, we’ll make dishes like Fettuccine with Asparagus Ribbons and Lemon Crème Fraiche or Whole Wheat Fettuccine with Wild Mushrooms. And for fun, we’ll make homemade garganelli pasta, taught to me by one of my best friends in Italy-- Valentina. We’ll douse it with a simple, tasty tomato ragu! I made this with my family for Christmas and everyone loved rolling these delicate shapes!
Since this weekend is all about Italy, we’ll round out our menus with some delicious soups, salads, and of course, dessert and perfectly paired wines. You’ll have so much fun learning the art of making homemade pasta and exceptional pizza dough. And wait until you how easy it is to take these techniques, add seasonal ingredients and create a plethora of new dishes— perfect for your next weeknight meal with your family or party with friends!
I can’t wait to share these dishes and more with you in San Francisco!
Spaces are limited and these classes fill out fast.
