June 29 - Cooking Class: Fresh Pasta from Scratch and Ravioli

Solare’s pasta is made fresh every day – in our kitchen. This is an opportunity to see exactly how Executive Chef Denice Grande makes that happen! She will teach you all the right techniques to enable you to make the best “pasta fresca” and perfect ravioli and more.  This is a hands-on pasta making class where you will learn the classic dough techniques and so much more.

The lesson is held in our kitchen and is “hands-on” and not a mere cooking “demonstration”.  The fun starts at 10:30am at Solare with an Italian-style coffee of your choice. Italian wine is served for students interested in “cooking with wine”.  Important: Please wear closed toe shoes.  Class size is small and intimate and limited to approximately 10 students.  $95++/student that includes the class, wine, and lunch. It’s fun!  Reserve today.
