This hands-on class features two of my favorite stuffed pastas: tortellini and tortelli. One thinly rolled dough will be stuffed with mortadella and prosciutto and served in the richest chicken broth. The other dough will be stuffed with butternut squash and ricotta and served in a brown butter sauce with toasted sage.
I learned to make these pasta shapes while I was in Umbria this past fall. I’ll be sharing stories about my trip and the wonderful folks in Umbria, Tuscany and Florence who helped make this trip so meaningful to me. If you want to know more about this trip and discuss the possibility of taking one together, do sign up!
