Italian Date Night: Handmade Tagliatelle with Creamy Porcini Mushroom and Pancetta Sauce

Description

You are in for a real treat! In this intimate and exclusive culinary experience hosted in Chef Mike's beautiful barn venue, you will learn how to create an indulgent Italian dinner consisting of fresh hand-made tagliatelle paired with delicious creamy porcini mushroom and pancetta sauce from scratch. 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 Michael. But wait, this is not all! You will also learn how to make simple yet luxurious Italian cream based dessert, Zabaione. Silky and smooth, this classic treat adorned with fresh berries will end your experience on a sweet note.

In this hands-on, interactive class, you will learn step by step how to create, knead, cut tagliatelle pasta from scratch and cook to perfection. You will also learn how to concoct a classic porcini mushroom and pancetta sauce to coat your noodles, finally finishing with zabaione dessert. Please keep in mind the porcini mushroom sauce will involve bits of pancetta so if you do not eat pork, please alert the Chef ahead of the class so he can prepare a non-meat sauce. Throughout this action packed class, Chef Michael will be providing thorough instructions on knife skills and techniques you can apply in your own home kitchen afterward.

Once you have finished making you dish, we will dine together and say cheers to celebrate the fruits of our labor!

For the best experience, please make one reservation on behalf of everyone in your party so we can arrange social distance friendly setup for everyone. Please carefully review the dietary restrictions section down below to make sure this experience is suitable for you. 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).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in.

Meet your chef instructor
Chef Michael has been in the food service industry for over 25 years. “The service industry is in his blood”. After graduating college his early 20’s, Chef Michael decided to further his knowledge of the culinary industry and attended the French Culinary Institute in NYC. During this time Chef Michael took advantage of being in NYC by interning in such restaurants as Montrachet and Chanterelle. Chef Michael decided to return to his roots in Philadelphia, after a 2 year stint in NYC. Here, he procured a position at the prestigious Le Bec Fin and learned to implement what he had learned in NYC, and eventually was promoted Sous Chef at another one of George Perrier restaurants, Brasserie Perrier. Knowing there was much more to learn, Chef Michael then moved to the West Coast, the San Francisco Bay Area. Here, he worked at Oliveto under Chef Paul Bertolli, renowned for his charcuterie, pasta making, and true Italian cooking knowledge. He spent a little over 10 months learning the ins and outs of the restaurant, which at the time was nationally known as one of the best Italian restaurants in the country. Back in Philadelphia after his son was born, Chef Michael was the Executive Sous Chef at Dillworthtown Inn, one of the finest and well-known restaurants in the area. While in the West Chester, Pa area he was also invited to participate at The James Beard House, where he showcased the execution of his menu ideas.
