Orecchiette Pasta alla Puttanesca

Description

The origins of Orecchiette pasta are a bit of a mystery.  It is thought that the shape of the pasta was inspired by the trulli, which are traditional stone houses with conical roofs found in Puglia.  The name "orecchiette" means "little ears," and the pasta is indeed shaped like a small ear.

Join us for our new hands-on pasta making class with Chef Leo.  You will learn how to make Orecchiette pasta from scratch, with a fresh tomato-based Puttanesca sauce.  This recipe is so satisfying to eat and even more fun to make!  As an added bonus, your instructor is providing a delicious homemade Panna Cotta dessert for you to enjoy at the end of your meal.

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.

Meet your chef instructor
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.

Where do I start?! I’ll make this review short and simple! Our instructor was so kind, funny, and helpful!! He came over to each table to provide clear instructions to us and came back when I had any questions. He made a dessert with strawberries and it was a 10 out of 10!! I mean out of this world, delicious!! So creamy, refreshing and sweet!! Thank you for making my Besties Birthday special!!
