About this Dish

A great pasta needs just a little sauce — and the secret is always in the ingredients and technique. In this class, our Scuola Chef will take you step by step through three Italian classics: a vibrant Pesto Genovese made with fresh basil and pine nuts, a perfect Pomodoro built from the finest San Marzano tomatoes, and a silky Cacio e Pepe that's all about the technique. Three sauces, three stories, one great evening.
