Italian Date Night: Hand-made Tortelli with Brown Butter Sage Sauce

You are in for a real treat! In this intimate and exclusive culinary experience taking place at Chef Paulina's spacious home based in Escondido, you will learn how to execute an indulgent Italian meal consisting of fresh hand-made pasta dish. The traditional Tortelli Piacentini is a ricotta and spinach filled pasta from Emilia-Romagna, the region known for this egg and flour combination. These delectable tortellis appear to be braided with a small tail, swimming in a delicious sage brown butter sauce. Once you master the basics of fresh pasta making in this class, you will be equipped to try different shapes and forms with your newfound knowledge and tips and tricks shared by Chef Paulina.

In this highly hands-on, interactive class, you will learn step by step how to create, knead, and shape fresh classic tortelli pasta from scratch. If you thought butter and sage sauce was simple, think again! You will learn every step that goes into making this silky and indulgent sauce that can make or break the overall dish. Not only will you have mastered the tips and tricks of creating home-made sauce but also you will not want to go back to store bought, jarred pasta sauces or boxed pasta ever again after this class! Once you have finished making you dish, we will dine together and say cheers to celebrate the fruits of our labor.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets in case you wish to recreate the dish on your own after the class. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
