Cooking Class: Homemade Neapolitan Pasta
Craft some of your favorite Italian dishes from scratch in this fun cooking class with Chef Alessia.
A refreshing Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, drizzled with olive oil begins the meal. Then, become a pasta master as you whip up dough from scratch. Practice kneading and rolling out the dough before cutting it into fettuccine. As the pasta boils, whip up a garlic tomato sauce to make fettuccine alla scarpariello. Or pair the pasta with fresh lobster for a coastal flair. Finish the meal with handmade zeppole, decadent Italian doughnuts filled with a rich custard cream. Book your spot today!
