Exploring the Pasta-Making Technique

How do we begin the process of crafting authentic Italian pasta? First, we don our aprons and gather our tools – a wooden board, a rolling pin, and a handheld pasta cutter. Diving in, we knead the dough, feeling the texture transform under our hands. Next, we roll the dough into long, thin sheets, carefully controlling the thickness. Using the cutter, we slice the dough into perfect ribbons of pappardelle or tagliatelle. The steps are as follows:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Knead the dough |
| 2 | Roll the dough into thin sheets |
| 3 | Cut the dough into ribbons |
With each pass of the rolling pin and slice of the cutter, we gain a deeper appreciation for the art of pasta-making.
Crafting the Classic Roman Ragù Bianco
Next, we dive into crafting the classic Roman Ragù Bianco. Our instructor guides us through the steps:
-
Browning the ground beef and pork in olive oil to develop a rich, savory base.
-
Simmering the meat with onions, carrots, and celery until the flavors meld.
-
Slowly adding white wine and broth, allowing the sauce to thicken and the aromas to bloom.
-
Finishing with a touch of cream and parmesan, creating a velvety, well-balanced Ragù.
We carefully assemble the pappardelle, topping it with the slow-simmered Ragù. The flavors are authentic and comforting, a true taste of Rome.
Mastering the Art of Tiramisu

With our pappardelle plated and the Ragù Bianco simmering to perfection, we turn our attention to the class’s crowning glory – the art of crafting traditional tiramisu.
Our instructor guides us through each step, from whipping the mascarpone to assembling the layers. We learn the importance of using quality ingredients and techniques like layering the ladyfingers just right.
As we work, the rich, cocoa-dusted dessert takes shape before our eyes. With a final flourish, our homemade tiramisu is ready to enjoy.
The creamy, coffee-infused treat is the perfect finale to our Roman culinary journey.
A Prosecco Toast to Start the Class

As we gather around the rustic wooden table, our instructor welcomes us with a celebratory prosecco toast.
This sets the stage for an immersive culinary experience.
We’re then guided through:
- Measuring the perfect flour-to-egg ratio for our pasta dough.
- Kneading the mixture until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Carefully rolling out the dough to achieve the ideal thickness.
- Cutting the dough into long, delicate strands of pappardelle or tagliatelle.
With our prosecco in hand, we’re ready to dive into the hands-on pasta-making adventure ahead.
