Get ready for a culinary adventure with Chef Massimo, joining you live from his home in Italy, as he guides you through the art of pasta-making and the flavors of traditional Italian cuisine. The centerpiece of the class is learning to craft delicate pappardelle from scratch, blending fine 00 flour with semolina to achieve the perfect texture. Under Chef Massimo's expert guidance, you knead and roll the dough, discovering the rich history behind this loved pasta shape, known for its wide ribbons that soak up sauces beautifully. Once your pappardelle is ready, you'll finish it off by preparing a luscious mushroom and sausage sauce, simmered with aromatic herbs. The smells of freshly made pappardelle with hearty sausage and earthy mushrooms will fill your kitchen, transporting you to the rustic trattorias of Italy. 

In addition to pasta-making, Chef Massimo will introduce you to a refreshing twist on the classic Caprese salad, incorporating grilled eggplant to add a smoky depth to the traditional combination of fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil. As you assemble the vibrant dish, Chef Massimo will share anecdotes from his culinary heritage. Over laughter and shared stories, you'll cook together while enjoying your mutual passion for delicious food.
