Hands-on Tortellini – a Cooking Class with Sylvia Becker

What is better on a winter day than a yummy bowl of hand-made stuffed pasta? In this hands-on pasta class Sylvia Becker will teach you the art of making, filling and shaping your own tortellini. There are different styles of tortellini and the best way to learn is diving in hands first. Sylvia’s class will begin with a demo on how to make a fool-proof pasta dough using two different methods. Next a lesson in how to set up and operate a pasta machine and then we get to the fun part: learning how to stuff and shape different styles of tortellini. Following the learning we will enjoy the fruits of our labor for lunch.

Menu to include:

• Meaty Tortellini in Brodo
• Ricotta and Prosciutto Stuffed Tortellini with Sage Butter Sauce
• Classic Cheese Tortellini in Marinara

This hands-on class (plus lunch) is limited to ten people.
