Master handmade pasta and risotto in this cooking class with Chef Vivek.
Begin by preparing a fresh pasta dough and shaping homemade tortellini, served with rich braised oxtail and a deeply flavorful bone broth for a comforting first course. Then, master the art of creamy risotto Milanese infused with fragrant saffron, paired with sweet and spicy honey garlic shrimp for a bold contrast of flavors. On the side, pan-roast seasonal vegetables and finish them with a bright sumac butter. End on a sweet note with crisp pistachio-crusted cannoli filled with a smooth, creamy ricotta filling.
