Pasta Making 102: CAVATELLI
In this hands-on class, Chef Peyton will instruct you in the 4 essential techniques needed to make authentic Italian Cavatelli:
- Hydrating and Building the Dough relying entirely on using semolina flour and warm water to implement “the Well Method.
- Developing gluten through proper kneading to give the pasta its signature al dente bite, using the heel palm technique and “the poke test”.
- Sizing and Extruding “The “Rope” Roll” before shaping the individual pieces of cavatelli.
- Creating the signature shape of cavatelli through “the dragging and caving” technique by hand, with a gnocchi board or a cavatelli machine.
You will also be preparing a hot appetizer, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, an Italian Salad & Garlic Bread. Then, the class will move into our lovely Vasto Room to enjoy dessert and a glass of featured red or white wine.
