Home Ec: The Pasta Course
Come spend an empowering afternoon learning the intricacies of fresh pasta-making with chef Samin Nosrat.
After discussing the history and science behind pasta fresca, Samin will take you into the kitchen to demonstrate the ins and outs of making, rolling, and shaping fresh pasta. She'll cover such topics as which types of flours to use, tips for rolling smooth, even sheets, and how to best store and cook handmade pasta.
Then, it'll be your turn to work with fresh farm eggs and a variety of high-quality flours. You'll learn how to make several shapes, including rustic hand-torn straccetti, traditional tagliatelle, farfalle, and delicate ravioli.
Each student will receive a recipe guide and some pasta to take home.
You'll leave empowered and informed, knowing how to make delicate, tender sheets of pasta whenever you like.
