Pack your appetite and your sense of adventureāno passport required! In this fun, hands-on class, weāre whisking you away to the heart of Italy with one of Emilia-Romagnaās most iconic culinary treasures: tortellini! These adorable, hat-shaped pasta pillows are packed with flavor and centuries of tradition, with Bologna and Modena still playfully feuding over who made them first.
While we may not settle the debate, we will be crafting some tortellini magic of our own! Under the expert guidance of Chef John Alunni, youāll learn how to make pasta dough completely from scratchājust like Italian nonnas have done for generations. From rolling and cutting to stuffing and folding, youāll shape each tortellini by hand, then cook up three crave-worthy versions to enjoy together in class.
