This Pasta al Forno Class invites you to master a crowd pleasing special occasion dish—the deluxe Italian baked ziti. Throughout this 2.5-hour session, students will move from learning how to prepare a meat sauce to the assembly of a rich, multi-layered pasta bake featuring traditional ingredients like salami, provolone, and hard-boiled eggs.
What You Will Learn
- The Meat Sauce: Learn to build a robust red sauce starting with a beef base, Italian canned tomatoes, and fresh basil.
- Pasta Precision: Master the technique of cooking rigatoni ‘al dente’ to ensure it maintains the perfect texture after its second cook in the oven.
- Deluxe Layering: Discover the traditional style of assembly, incorporating creamy whole-milk ricotta, chopped hard-boiled eggs, salami, and a trio of cheeses.
- The Perfect Bake: Understand the timing and temperature required to achieve a golden-brown, bubbling finish that is characteristic of authentic pasta al forno.
