About this Event

About this Class:
It’s time to get your hands messy! In this hands-on class, our Scuola Chef will first guide you through the process of making fresh pasta from scratch, demonstrating the techniques for mixing, kneading, and shaping the dough. After the demonstration, you’ll roll up your sleeves and try it yourself, practicing the techniques step-by-step to make your own pasta. Once your pasta is prepared, sit back and enjoy a selection of antipasti while our Scuola Chef demonstrates how to prepare the classic cacio e pepe sauce. You’ll sample the finished dish prepared by the Chef before taking your own pasta home to enjoy and celebrate your hard work.

About this Dish:
Cacio e Pepe is one of Rome’s most iconic pasta dishes, celebrated for its simplicity and bold flavor. Translating to “cheese and pepper,” this Roman classic combines Pecorino Romano cheese and freshly cracked black pepper with hot pasta and pasta water to create a creamy, emulsified sauce. In this class, you’ll learn the techniques behind achieving the perfect balance of heat, cheese, and starch to create the silky sauce that defines this beloved dish.

In this Class You Will:

  • Learn about the history and traditions behind Cacio e Pepe
  • Observe as our Scuola Chef demonstrates techniques for making fresh pasta and preparing an authentic cacio e pepe sauce
  • Make your own fresh pasta during the hands-on portion of the class
  • Sample the Cacio e Pepe prepared by our Scuola Chef
  • Enjoy a selection of antipasti and two glasses of curated Italian wine pairings
  • Take home the recipe to recreate this Roman classic in your own kitchen
