NEW! Handcrafted Tortellini Workshop Online via Zoom

Discover the joy of making fresh, handcrafted tortellini from start to finish! Join Chef Tess in one of her newest hands-on cook-along experiences where you will learn how to make delicate pasta dough from scratch, then roll, fill and shape your own tortellini with scratch made fillings. We’ll begin by preparing a rich, creamy three-cheese filling which becomes the foundation for two delicious variations: a savory mushroom and 3-cheese filling bursting with umami (with the option to substitute spinach for the mushrooms), and a hearty Italian sausage and 3-cheese filling for those who prefer a more robust option. Chef Tess will guide you through the process of stuffing and shaping the tortellini step-by-step then cooking them to perfection with a velvety scratch-made cream sauce for a truly authentic experience. Regardless of your culinary background, this class will empower you with the artistry and assurance to create exquisite, homemade tortellini that delight every time.

An inexpensive pasta roller is highly recommended but not required. A stand-mixer for the dough, and a food processor for the meat filling are also recommended but not required. More info will be provided in the ingredient list packet.
