About this Event
Travel with us to Sicily and learn to make arancini from scratch stuffed with a variety of fillings. This class is vegetarian friendly with a number of filling options for your aracnini.
You will learn how to make:
- The perfect risotto for the arancini
- Italian Besciamella Sauce
- Eggplant Caponata
- Sicilian Ragu with peas
By the end of the class you will be rolling out arancini like a tiny Sicilian Nonna or Nonno.
In this hands-on experience, you'll master the art of making crispy, golden arancini made with delicious risotto and stuffed with a variety of savory fillings. After learning the basics, you will get to choose your own fillings and make 3-4 arancini - enough to sample on site and take home!
All classes are hands-on. Everything will be made from scratch and by hand.
Classes are held at IL LABORATORIO - a new cooking class kitchen located at 3101 Guess Rd Durham (not at the pasta shop). All participants receive a Class Recipe Book via email after the class with the recipes from the class.
Please read FAQs below this description before calling the pasta shop with questions.
