PASTA COLOURING CLASS

Carmela is a passionate Italian cookery tutor who specialises in the art of making pasta known as a pastaia (specialist pasta maker).

From simple yet delicious dinner party dishes to elaborate desserts and mesmerising yet stunning pasta dishes. Carmela’s mantra is to cook all dishes within our UK seasons whilst showing and highlighting the beauty that can be made and presented from the humble Italian kitchen. Carmela’s classes will open your eyes to the wonder and possibilities that can be found within the arms of the 20 regions that embrace Italy. From the Northern regions which feature heavily the use of butter, rice, polenta, truffle and game to the southern regions which showcase the abundance of seasonal vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood, pasta and olive oil. A feast for the eyes as well as the tummy!

Carmela will take you from basic pasta making and demystify any concerns you have, leaving you feeling inspired and confident. You will be guided through making not one but three colours of pasta. The colouring technique learnt can be applied to many different styles of pasta at home providing you with skills to impress family and friends creating the most colourful and tasty plates of food.
