Italy's Tagliatelle, a Zoom talk + demo with Dame Meryl Feinstein

Join us on Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30 PM for Part II of our pasta explorations. Dame Meryl Feinstein, author of "Pasta Every Day" and ThePastaSocialClub.com, will focus on "Italy's Tagliatelle," the flat, ribboned noodles of the country's Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions. She will show us how to make the simple egg dough and roll it into sheets by hand. No special equipment required.

Meryl's session follows Les Dames DC April 24 presentation by historian Karima Moyer-Nocchi on "How Pasta Became Italian." We'll be continuing this occasional series, so stay tuned.
