Let’s make fresh gluten free pasta! We’ll get our aprons on and start mixing the dough by hand using the best local eggs and Grade A quinoa flour and chickpea flour. Participants will learn how to make 2 types of gluten free pasta dough from scratch: Quinoa Fettuccine and Chickpea Maltagliata. Italian Chef & Nutrtionist Nicole Di Nardo will walk you through the whole process from selecting ingredients, to dough mixing, kneading, and dusting, as well as machine rolling and hand-shaping techniques, and storage guidelines.
While the dough rests, you’ll make two healthy, delicious sauces: a classic Italian tomato for the fettucine and a traditional Pugliese stew with chickpeas, tomato sauce, rosemary with the hand-cut maltagliata pasta. Finally you’ll learn how to put it all together and the importance of liquid gold (pasta water). We will share a small bowl of each pasta dish and celebrate in what we created together.
