Handmade Italian Pasta Workshop & Lunch with Chef Rich Rosendale
Join Certified Master Chef Rich Rosendale for a hands-on evening centered around one of Italy’s most celebrated traditions—fresh handmade pasta.
The lunch begins with seasonal bruschetta followed by a simple arugula and shaved fennel salad with lemon, Parmesan, and extra-virgin olive oil.
Guests will then learn how to prepare fresh pasta dough from scratch, including proper mixing, kneading, resting, rolling, and shaping techniques. The class will prepare pumpkin-filled ravioli along with fresh hand-cut pasta.
Chef Rosendale will demonstrate several versatile Italian sauces, including a fresh basil pesto, simple tomato pomodoro, and a classic brown butter and sage sauce for finishing the ravioli.
Once the cooking is complete, everyone will sit down together and enjoy an Italian-style lunch featuring the dishes prepared during class.
