Hand Rolled Cavatelli Pasta
Rumor has it that Cavatelli dates back to Emperor Federico II in the 13th century, making it Italy's oldest pasta.
In this hands-on class, you will learn how easy and fun it is to prepare fresh cavatelli from scratch. First you will make the pasta dough, then knead, roll, and form the cavatelli. We will learn about the central region of Italy known as Lazio, where Arrabbiata sauce originates. Your Chef Instructor will demo how to make the sauce from scratch, giving you tips and tricks for making the sauce on your own at home so you can adjust the level of heat and spice. Once the sauce is ready we will cook our pasta and sit down to a delicious plate made completely from scratch. So come on out, have fun, and learn the art of cavatelli making!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. 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).
Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only.
Chef Leo’s culinary journey began in 2013 when he helped organize Food Revolution
Day in Caracas, Venezuela, part of chef Jamie Oliver’s global initiative. This experience ignited Leo’s passion for cooking, which grew as he explored Venezuelan, Italian, and Spanish cuisines, embracing their rich traditions and flavors. In 2014, Leo launched Canela Cuisine, where he fused Italian techniques—such as handmade pasta—with the bold flavors of Venezuelan and Spanish dishes. His collaboration with Arepas Cafe led to the popular Arepa Experience, where he
taught others to make authentic Venezuelan arepas, while also honing his skills in
classic Spanish dishes like paella and tapas. Through various roles in NYC’s food scene, Leo mastered every aspect of the restaurant world, refining his expertise in Italian, Venezuelan, and Spanish cuisine.
Class will take place on the Terrace of the hotel. The nature of our classes are set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price, but will be available for sale at the venue. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only. For any guests booked individually, if you are part of a larger group please email hello@cocusocial.com at least 48 hours prior to your class to confirm your full booking party size and the names of the others in your group.
