About this Event
Grab your favorite person, Valentine or Galentine and join us for a special pasta making class in our Italian Cooking School kitchen - Il Laboratorio/The Cooking Lab by Melina's Fresh Pasta on Valentine’s Day weekend.
Come learn how to make pasta from Carmella - the owner of Melina's Fresh Pasta.
This class is hands-on with a demonstration portion for the Raviolo. Every participant will get their very own Raviolo to eat along with the handmade garganelli and mini cannoli.
Special Menu:
Garganelli Pasta - Pistachio Pesto & crispy mortadella*
Raviolo al Uovo - Brown Butter & Sage Sauce
Mini Cannoli - homemade cannoli cream
Raviolo al Uovo is a single large ravioli filled with ricotta cheese and a runny egg yolk. The ravioli is cooked briefly so the yolk remains wet and pools with the cheese and butter to create a sauce. It is DECADENT and DELICIOUS.
All participants receive a Melina’s Fresh Pasta Recipe Book via email after the class with the recipes from the class.
*Can be modified for Vegetarians

Instructor: Carmella Alvaro, Owner & Pasta Maker, Il Laboratorio & Melina’s Fresh Pasta
“Authentic Italian food is about the simple preparation of a few fresh, local, high quality ingredients. I am excited to share this tradition with you.”
My parents, Giuseppe and Giuseppa, came to America with my sister, Rita, and brother, Rocco, forty years ago from Sinopoli, a small town near Reggio, Calabria, on the southern tip of Italy. I was born in Syracuse, NY a few years later and was lucky enough to grow up in the local close knit Italian American community watching my Mom cook meals from scratch, using ingredients my Dad grew in his backyard garden. After leaving home, I missed the homemade Italian food I grew up with so I took a trip to Italy to learn how to make fresh pasta. When I returned I founded Melina’s Fresh Pasta in 2010.
