A Taste of Italy

From Tortellini in Brodo in the north to Puttanesca in the south, Italy boasts a variety of pasta dishes. Flavours can be robust and spicy or mild and soothing. Drop it in a soup, bake it, or serve it with sauce. Pasta is diverse and always delicious, making it one of the world’s favourite foods.

In this class we will begin by making a fresh batch of pasta. You will then use this to prepare two dishes.

Tortellini- stuffed with a butternut squash filling then folded by hand. This pasta, once you master the folding technique, can be used in a range of dishes.

Lasagne- take this family favourite to the next level with your fresh pasta. A rich beef or lentil ragu, béchamel infused with bay leaves and cloves then construct to take away and enjoy at home

This is a hands-on cooking class. All dishes made can be taken away and enjoyed at home. Veggie and Vegan recipe alternatives are always available – please indicate any individual requirements on the form when you are booking.

This workshop will be led by our Community Chef Iain McLellan, a skilled and talented Head Chef with over 20 years cooking experience. Iain is passionate about world cuisines and sharing his love of flavour combinations.

Some cooking skills are required to enjoy this workshop i.e. basic knife skills.  Please bring some containers to take home your food.
