That's Amore Pasta-Making Class

Overview

Carbe diem, folks. Our favourite experts at That's Amore have announced a new run of pasta-making classes, guiding beginner chefs through the art of making gnocchi or filled pasta from scratch.

Learn the secrets of both potato and ricotta gnocchi from Masterchef contestant and cookbook author Pia Gava on Saturday, May 6, before sitting down to an Italian lunch featuring your creations and a glass of wine. Potato gnocchi is paired with a rich four-cheese sauce, while ricotta-based gnocchi is laden with cavolo nero pesto.

Alternatively, a three-hour tortellini and ravioli session led by Piera Pagnoni, owner of Piera Pasta Fresca, will run on Saturday, May 27. Roll up your sleeves across this in-depth, interactive workshop which will take you through the process of making, kneading and shaping two kinds of filled pasta. The first is a balanzoni, a green, tortellini-like stuffed pasta hailing from Bologna stuffed with ricotta, mortadella and parm. The second is a half-moon ravioli di pesc starring crab meat, snapper, mascarpone, thyme and lemon. A glass of wine and lunch is also included.

Tickets come in at $140 per person which includes a That's Amore apron for your home kitchen.
