First, you will learn to craft traditional pici pasta from scratch. With guidance from a skilled chef instructor and using just a few simple ingredients, roll twist and shape the dough into thick, chewy strands. Enhance your dense and aromatic pasta with a rich, velvety carbonara sauce featuring crispy guanciale, Pecorino Romano and freshly cracked black pepper for an irresistible depth of flavor. Then, prepare a classic, rich tiramisu, layering espresso-soaked ladyfingers with luscious mascarpone cream and finishing with a dusting of cocoa powder.

My mom, sister, and I recently took Chef Jake’s Italian cooking class, which featured fresh pasta in carbonara sauce, green beans almondine, and tiramisu. Overall, it was a good experience — the meal turned out tasty, and Chef Jake kindly sent us the recipes afterwards since the exact ingredient quantities weren’t shared during the class. However, there were a few things that left us a bit disappointed given the price. The class is advertised as a two-hour experience, but we were completely done cooking and eating within an hour of the start time. We also didn’t end up cooking the green beans at all, and the slivered almonds that were supposed to be part of that dish were missing. Despite these small hiccups, we still enjoyed spending time together in the kitchen and learning how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch. We just wish the class had lasted longer and included everything that was advertised.
