Flying Aprons Cooking Class: “Pasta Abbondanza!” Italian Heritage Pastas & Sauces Workshop

When it comes to pasta, ditch the box and make it fresh – nothing beats the authentic taste! Top it with a sauce recipe handed down through generations, grate some fresh Parmesan; the result is molto bene! The menu reflects Certified Executive Chef and Certified Culinary Educator BarryInfuso’s Italian heritage and as president of the Slow Food Southern Arizona chapter, a commitment to a world in which all people can eat food that’s good for them, good for the planet and good for those who produce. You’ll learn of variety of ways to make dough, use a pasta machine to roll it, hand form the bow tie farfalle and hand cut the fettuccine. The family sauce, perfected by his Nona, has just six ingredients. Pesto’s bright, clean flavors are a great alternative for a warm weather sauce.
