Pasta-bilties Fresh Pasta Making Class: Handmade Fettuccini & Ricotta Gnocchi with Gloria Smiley Unlock the secrets to authentic, handmade pasta in this immersive, technique-driven culinary workshop. Pasta-bilities is designed for home cooks who want to move beyond the box and master the delicate balance of flour, egg, and cheese. Under the guidance of our expert instructor, you’ll dive into the world of fresh dough preparation, learning the nuances of texture and "the knead." We’ll explore two distinct styles: a classic ribbon pasta and the pillowy, cloud-like texture of Ricotta Gnocchi—a foolproof alternative to the traditional potato version. Beyond the dough, you’ll learn to build sophisticated, seasonal sauces that highlight fresh produce and high-quality proteins. From the earthy richness of mushrooms and sweet corn to a robust Mediterranean-style Tuna Ragu, you’ll leave with the confidence to toss, sauce, and serve like a pro. Key Techniques Covered: Mixing and kneading fresh pasta dough. Proper use of pasta rollers for perfect Fettuccini. The "no-stress" method for shaping and boiling Ricotta Gnocchi. Building depth of flavor in quick-cooking seasonal sauces. Menu Fettuccini with Corn, Mushrooms, and Tomatoes – Hand-cut ribbons tossed with sautéed seasonal vegetables and a light, savory emulsion.
