ENR3069 - Pasta Fresca

Course Description

We are happy to introduce Chef Salvo Coppola, a native son of Italy, and a classically trained chef who has worked in Italy, Germany, Austria, France and Monaco. He has lived in Naples, Milan, and Trieste, so he has an excellent knowledge of Italy’s regional cuisines. Furthermore, Chef Salvo worked for 24 years as the personal chef of H.R.H. Princess Caroline of Monaco. Chef Salvo will show you how to create authentic Italian, French and other European dishes that you can translate into your own home. 

Course Outline

Chef Salvo is going to give you what you’ve been waiting for. He will teach you how to make fresh pasta from scratch and turn it into two authentic dishes with wonderful sauces. We’ll begin with demonstrations by Chef Salvo on how to make the pasta dough for noodles, which you will turn into penne rigate. Then he will show you how to make the dough for fresh orecchiette (“ear” shaped pasta) and you’ll get to try your hand at making ears. To finish the class, Chef Salvo will teach you how to make sauces specifically for these pastas; an amatriciana sauce for the penne, and a cime di rapa (sausage and broccoli rabe) sauce for the orecchiette.
