Pasta Making 102: Cavatelli

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.
