Hands-On: Pasta alla Norma

About this Class: It’s time to get your hands messy! In our hands-on format, you’ll be diving right in and making our dish with ingredients prepared by our Eataly kitchens. Our Scuola Chef will prepare a curated antipasto for you to taste in the class. You then get to enjoy your culinary creation straight out of the burner.

About this Dish: Combining rich, roasted eggplant with bright tomatoes and salty ricotta salata, Pasta alla Norma is an umami-rich and comforting Sicilian classic. Legend has it that the poet Nino Martoglio exclaimed that this pasta was "a true Norma"– utter perfection, just like its namesake opera. In this class, you’ll make the sauce from scratch.

• Learn about the traditions and culture of Pasta alla Norma
• Observe as our Scuola Chef teaches the group how to make Pasta alla Norma
• Make your own Norma sauce
