PASTA CLASS & ITALIAN DINNER - WINE PAIRING AND BEER OPEN BAR

What to expect

Chef Gabriella Mariani will guide you through making cavatelli all’arrabbiata, a hand-rolled pasta from Southern Italy, known for its rustic texture that pairs perfectly with the bold, spicy flavors of arrabbiata sauce.

We’ll kick things off with a meat and cheese charcuterie board, along with wine pairings and a beer open bar to enjoy throughout the experience. After cooking, you’ll sit down to savor the meal you’ve created in a relaxed and friendly setting!

About the dish

Cavatelli are small, shell-shaped pasta made with semolina flour and water, giving them a slightly chewy texture that holds onto sauce beautifully. Arrabbiata sauce, meaning “angry” in Italian, is a spicy tomato-based sauce made with garlic, chili flakes, and olive oil, bringing a perfect kick of heat to the dish. This simple yet flavorful combination is a staple of Southern Italian cuisine, showcasing bold and comforting flavors.

What to bring

• Comfortable outfit
• Comfortable shoes
