Cooking Class: Italian Comforts From Scratch
Craving something cozy and delicious? This Italian cooking class with Chef Mika is all about comfort food done right.
Start by frying zucchini until perfectly golden and simmering a fresh tomato purée with aromatic herbs for a rustic, flavorful sauce. Then, move on to a classic favorite: chicken parmigiana, cooked until tender and juicy. You’ll also make fresh pasta from scratch, learning how to knead, shape and cook it to that perfect al dente bite. Serve it all with a marinara and a decadent five-cheese blend. On the side, whip up sautéed asparagus with herby compound butter, then finish things off with chocolate-covered strawberries topped with cookie crumbles.
