Ciao!
In this class run by chef Alessandro Fanzola, you will learn how to make the best fresh egg pasta and you will be able to create plain pasta shapes such as tagliatelle and pappardelle, but also make some fresh ravioli following 2 classic Italian recipes originating mainly from the Emilia Romagna region.
We will make the ravioli and tortellini first, and we will use the pasta trimmings to make tagliatelle and pappardelle; this is a common practice in Italian families, to make use of the ingredients to their full potential, and avoid wastage.
You will prepare:
Spinach and ricotta cheese Ravioli:
One of the most classic preparations of filled pasta, with a filling that releases a fresh and delicate flavour. Traditionally served with sage infused butter sauce and a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese
Tortellini di carne
Well known recipe around the world, very comforting dish served with a cream sauce, or a strong stock. The origins of the tortellini are to be found in the Po Valley because of the area’s historic abundance of pork meat and Parmigiano cheese, two of the base ingredients needed for the filling. And that’s how tortellini became so common around Bologna and Modena.
