This is a Prickly Pear signature class.
When in Rome eat like a Roman. Spilling out into the many alleys surrounding the ancient city are little open-air or “al fresco” bistros where locals can enjoy an authentic Italian meal well into the wee hours of the night. In many ways, Rome aspires to represent Italy as a whole. Here, we recreate our Italian travel food experiences by bringing to you some of our favorite dishes.
Warm up your palate and learn how to make mozzarelline fritte, flash fried fresh mozzarella and homemade marinara.
Prepare a bright seasonal mushroom and asparagus sauce to compliment a rich and savory pasta entrée.
And how about a scratch pasta that doesn’t require fancy equipment and is easily duplicatable in your own home kitchen? Gnocchi, a Tuscan pasta made with fresh ricotta, can be prepared, start-to-finish, in less than one hour, (and most of that hour is chill time.)
You will enjoy a fresh tossed house insalata dressed in a traditional homemade Italian vinaigrette and parmesan and romano cheeses.
Finally, inspired by coastal Sorrento, you will create personal lemon pudding cakes.
And then, of course, sit, and enjoy the meal you have so carefully prepared.
