Workshop in detail
Make pasta, make friends. That is the motto at Nico’s Trattoria, and it sets the tone for the evening. Nico will warmly welcome you with drinks and snacks before you get your hands in the flour.
You start by making pasta dough from scratch. Then you shape and fill ravioli with ricotta and spinach, served the traditional way with butter and sage. The second pasta is tagliatelle: long ribbons that catch every bit of a creamy mushroom sauce made with garlic, olive oil and fresh herbs. Along the way, you learn how to cook each sauce so it brings out the best in its pasta.
To finish, you layer a tiramisù: savoiardi soaked in strong espresso, a velvety mascarpone cream and a dusting of cocoa. Tiramisù means “pick me up”, and after an evening of rolling and filling, it does exactly that.
Then everyone sits down together to eat what you made. You leave with a full stomach and the recipes to make it all again at home.
