An Italian Staple: Ragu Workshop and Dinner

Tuesday, November 18
$89.00

Tonight we are focused on learning to make Beef and Sausage Ragu—a hearty, crowd-pleasing Italian meat sauce. We will pair your aromatic, perfectly seasoned and deeply flavorful RAGU with handmade pasta by our very own Chef Mario– owner of PastaBar, a Tuscan Kale Caesar, and Dr. Pete’s Focaccia Bread with Burrata and Roasted Grapes. Join us for an unforgettable participation-style cooking class where you’ll roll up your sleeves, sharpen your skills, and savor every bite of what you create!

Menu:

Beef and Sausage Ragu
Learn how to build deep, rich flavor with this Italian classic — from perfectly searing short ribs to slow-braising them into a melt-in-your-mouth ragu.

Served Over Local Handmade Pasta
You’ll pair your ragu with beautiful, fresh pasta sourced from a local artisan — with a discussion of the behind-the-scenes of the pasta-making process.

Tuscan Kale Caesar Salad
Crisp, bold, and flavorful. You’ll master the art of homemade dressing- whisking a creamy Caesar dressing, and baking golden herbed croutons.

Dr. Pete’s Focaccia Bread, Burrata and Roasted Grapes
A beloved Southern classic with an Italian twist — served warm, fluffy, and perfect for soaking up extra sauce.

Participation Cooking Class: Aprons and workstations will be set up for you while your Chef-Instructor walks you making sauce, salad and focaccia appetizer giving you lots of tips and tricks along the way.

Chef: Gina
