International Women's Day Hands-On: Tortellini-Making & Aperitivo

It’s time to get your hands messy! In our hands-on format, you’ll be diving right in and making our dish with ingredients prepared by our Eataly kitchens. You will then get to enjoy the dish made in advance by our Scuola Chef, and you can take your culinary creation home with you! Celebrate Women in this Women’s Day Edition of this class with an Italian-style aperitivo of bubbly, savory bites, indulgent sweets, and more afterwards.

About this Dish: One of the most famous pasta shapes from Italy, tortellini are a stuffed, ring-shaped pasta originally from Emilia-Romagna. A famous legend says the chef who invented this new pasta did so after seeing the goddess Venus and shaped it after her belly button. Unlike other pasta shapes, tortellini are usually reserved for lavish times of celebration and are considered a luxury food, stuffed with decadent fillings like prosciutto, mortadella, veal, and Parmigiano Reggiano® DOP.
