Fresh Pasta: Fettuccine with Broccoli Rabe and Butternut Squash

In this 90 minute class, you will create handmade fettuccine to pair with nutty broccoli rabe, sweet butternut squash and mascarpone. This vegetarian dish is light yet satisfying. A wonderful meal for the fall weather.

Italian dolce: Tiramisu
Literally, “pick me up” tiramisu is one of Italy’s most beloved desserts. The worldwide craze for Italian tiramisu started with Tom Hanks in Nora Ephron’s 1993 rom-com “Sleepless in Seattle.” During our 90-minute live interactive tiramisu workshop, we will layer espresso-soaked ladyfingers with a mix of mascarpone, sugar and eggs. If time allows Eleonora will also demo a 2nd soft, creamy, rich tiramisu variation using fresh seasonal fruit: also perfect for kids!
Start time: 4:00 pm EST
Duration: 60 minutes
