Handmade Farfalle Pasta

Let's embark on a delicious journey through time and taste with a dish that embodies Italian comfort food: Farfalle all'amatriciana! These delightful bowtie pastas, nestled in a rich and savory sauce, have a history as rich and vibrant as their flavor.

The class will start off by crafting the perfect canvas for the sauce: fresh Farfalle. You will be guided through the process of making a simple yet satisfying pasta dough from scratch. Using just flour and eggs, you'll transform it into a silky, elastic sheet. Then, with a few deft movements and a touch of creativity, we'll shape the dough into it little bowties – the Farfalle.

While many associate amatriciana with Rome's bustling trattorias, its true origins lie nestled in the hills of central Italy, in the charming town of Amatrice. The earliest versions, likely dating back over a thousand years, were a symphony of salty pecorino cheese and cured guanciale (pork cheek), cooked together and tossed with pasta for a hearty meal. The addition of tomatoes, arriving in Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, transformed the dish into the beloved red sauce we know today.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
