Hand-Shaped Pastas of Southern Italy with Anthony Sestito

Join Chef Anthony Sestito of Pastaio for a fun, hands-on class exploring a selection of traditional eggless pastas and shapes typical of Southern Italy. You’ll ease into the class with a beautiful spread of antipasti on arrival, and then dive into learning how to make a simple and versatile fresh pasta dough from scratch, with an emphasis on choosing the right flours and the importance of resting the dough. Then Chef Anthony will walk you through some classic shapes and styles of pasta made focusing on classic hand-shaped pastas such as Cavatelli, Orecchiette, Fileja, and Lorighittas. There will be a discussion of the pairing of different shapes and sizes with their traditional sauces. The class culminates in a light meal of Orecchiette with Sausage & Rapini. (Veg/Vegan option available on request). Any extra pasta made in class can be taken home, along with PDF recipes and new skills to impress your friends!
