If you haven’t got an Italian mamma to teach you how to make pasta at home, join us for a hands-on experience of the process! Making your own pasta is deeply satisfying, surprisingly easy, and the results are delectable. Students learn the techniques for making a basic pasta dough; using a pasta machine to roll and cut fettuccini, pappardelle, and pasta sheets for ravioli; cutting and filling ravioli; making and shaping gnocchi; and preparing pasta sauces. At the end of class, we’ll sit down to an Italian pasta feast. Students leave with the skills and recipes to make these Italian classics at home. Wines from Italy will be served. MENU: Fettuccini with Prosciutto, Cream, & Nutmeg;  Potato Gnocci with Rustic Tomato Sauce; Pumpkin Ravioli with Sage-Brown Butter Sauce; and Pappardelle with Bolognese. $59

Demonstration
It’s easy to think of refined and subtle sushi when you think of Japanese cuisine. But when it comes to home cooking, more likely you’ll find curried beef—a staple comfort food drawn on the ancient influence of India! Irresistibly crispy Pork Tonkatsu is the schnitzel of Japan, and stir-fried Yakisoba, derived from a wildly popular Chinese street food, is the resourceful home-cook’s dream, making use of any delicious odds and ends you might have in the fridge. MENU: Beef Curry Rice; Seafood and Vegetable Yakisoba; Pork Tonkatsu with Cucumber Salad; Vanilla Flavored Sweet Potato & Oranges.$40

Hands-On
The Eternal City of Rome has scores of beautiful romantic lanes, restaurants, and parks, and wandering away from the floodlit piazzas through the small medieval lanes to discover a tucked-away trattoria is one of Rome’s true pleasures. During the Renaissance, Rome became well known as a centre of haute cuisine, and today the city is home to numerous formidable Italian dishes. In this class, couples explore the enchanting cuisine of this historic city as they spend a memorable night out cooking and dining together. MENU: Spaghetti Carbonara; Pork Braised in Milk; Asparagus with Prosciutto & Pecorino; and Zuppa Inglese (Italian Trifle). $120 per couple
