A Taste of Tuscany, 4-23-26

Transport your kitchen to the rolling hills of central Italy. In this immersive, educational and fun class, you will master the soulful flavors of Tuscany through one of its most beloved comfort dishes. We’ll move beyond the basics to learn the savory complexity of a traditional Italian Sausage Ragu. You’ll learn the secrets of building a rich soffritto base, deglazing with regional wine, and slow-simmering high-quality, Carfagna’s Italian Sausage into a thick, velvety sauce that clings to every bite. You will be introduced to  Bucatini, the thick, hollow-center pasta known for its incredible “al dente” bite and its unique ability to carry sauce both inside and out. A traditional Panzanella Salad with an Italian Bread Basket will complete this Tuscan inspired menu. Then you will continue this hearty party in our Vasto Room with dessert and a glass of our featured red or white wine. Salute!
