Some of the most memorable meals aren't reserved for holidays—they're the ones shared around the family table. In many Italian-American homes, homemade pasta, fresh bread, a generous antipasto, and simple recipes prepared with care brought everyone together each week.
In this hands-on class, you'll learn to make traditional handmade cavatelli from scratch and prepare a menu inspired by the comforting flavors of an Italian-American kitchen. Along the way, Chef Sue will share family stories, cooking techniques, and the traditions that have been passed from one generation to the next.
Whether you're recreating memories from your own family or beginning new traditions, you'll leave with timeless recipes and the confidence to prepare a meal that celebrates the warmth and hospitality of the Italian table.
Family-Style Antipasto - Italian cheese, salami, marinated olives, roasted peppers, artichokes, seasonal vegetables
Handmade Cavatelli with Italian Sausage, Broccolini & Garlic - Fresh semolina cavatelli tossed with sweet Italian sausage, tender broccolini, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, a touch of white wine, crushed red pepper, and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Italian Greens Salad - Crisp romaine and mixed greens with tomatoes, cucumbers, pepperoncini, red onion, black olives, and homemade creamy Italian dressing
Garlic Bread - Crusty Italian bread brushed with garlic butter, herbs, and Parmigiano Reggiano
Cannoli Cups - Crisp pastry cups filled with sweet ricotta cream and finished with mini chocolate chips and chopped pistachios
Hands-On Class - you’ll participate in the preparation of the meal alongside the chef.
