Hands-On: Pesto alla Trapanese

About this Class: It’s time to dive right In our hands-on format, you’ll be diving right in and making our dish with ingredients prepared by our Eataly kitchens. Our Salumi & Formaggi Team will prepare a curated antipasto for you to taste in the class.  You then get to enjoy your culinary creation straight out of the pan! 

About this Dish: Unlike green Pesto alla Genovese from Genoa, Pesto alla Trapanese is a Sicilian Pesto made from tomatoes, almonds, garlic, olive oil, and basil. Pesto alla Trapanese gets its name from the word pestare, meaning to pound or crush, as the traditional method uses a mortar and pestle to mix the sauce. In this class, you’ll make your own pesto from scratch.

• Learn about the traditions and culture of Pesto alla Trapanese
• Observe as our Scuola Chef teaches the group how to make Pesto alla Trapanese
