These handcrafted pasta varieties will be paired with three distinct sauces, each highlighting the beauty of fresh, seasonal ingredients, ensuring that your creations are both flavorful and authentic.

To finish off your culinary adventure, you’ll create a classic Italian dessert, adding the perfect sweet touch to your meal. This could be a tiramisu, panna cotta, or a seasonal fruit-based dessert, depending on the time of year and the freshest ingredients available.

Once the cooking is complete, you’ll sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor with a leisurely lunch or dinner. This delightful meal will showcase everything you’ve made, giving you the opportunity to savor the rich flavors of your freshly prepared pasta, sauces, and dessert.
