Celebrate Earth Day with Hands-On Pasta: Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa

About this Class: It’s Earth Day and it's time to get your hands messy!

In our hands-on format, you'll dive right in to making pasta yourself from scratch. Our Scuola Chef will then then prepare the signature dish for you to taste in class. Take your culinary creation with you at the end of class and enjoy your own hard work at home!

About this Dish: Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa is one of the signature pasta dishes from Apulia, city of Bari in particular.. This is a classic “poor man’s dish” or cucina povera that dates back to ancient times. A couple of simple local ingredients like homemade pasta (orecchiette), seasonal veggies, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and peperoncino is what it takes to make this epic, world famous pasta dish.

Sustainability: Rapini (also know as Broccoli Rabe) is a great vegetable to use in full - from stem to head, rather than just the leaves. Buying rapini from local farms reduces transportation emissions and supports small-scale farmers. Sausages are a great example of using all parts of an animal rather than only the better known cuts. At Eataly we also work with local producers to ensure that we are only carrying products from humanely-raised animals that are antibiotic and hormone free.
