Traditional Pasta Sauces Cooking Class with Julie Parisi of ZaZa's Pasta

Julie Parisi learned to cook at the apron strings of her Nonna (Italian grandmother), and learned from the tender age of 8 that food is for sharing. She created Zaza's Pastas –lovely handmade pasta available on New Pi shelves – and wants to share a few of her favorite classic sauce recipes with us!

We will start by making a classic tomato sauce (Sugo di Pomodoro) and build on it to create a fantastic Bolognese meat sauce.  Students will also learn how to make a classic basil pesto and learn variations on the basic recipe for unique flavor profiles. Finally, we will also create a creamy alfredo sauce from scratch.  All of the sauces cooked in this class will feature simple, clean ingredients for sauces that can be used for something as easy as saucing a pasta or incorporated into other recipes. You'll be saying "Buon Appetito!" in no time.
