Perfect Pasta Course at Vale House Kitchen

Vale House Kitchen's Perfect Pasta Course with the incredible Chiara Tomasoni celebrates some of Vale House Kitchen's favourite ingredients (including its own smoked and cured meats, locally foraged wild ingredients, and more) and one of Italy's best inventions! Once participants have tried their own sensational fresh pasta, they'll never go back…

Skills

• Basic pasta dough
• Hand-shaped pasta
• Filled pasta
• Coloured pasta
• Gnocchi

The day starts by perfecting the techniques for making the basic egg dough. Participants will make a delicious filling with local seasonal ingredients, and then roll out their pasta dough to make a filled pasta which they'll cook and serve for lunch with sage and butter. They'll also make their own fresh gnocchi.

In the afternoon, Chiara will demonstrate her techniques for more advanced pasta creations, using natural ingredients like beetroot, spinach and wild garlic to make beautiful coloured pasta, and laminating flowers through pasta dough for a truly showstopping dish! She'll also show participants how to shape pasta dough by hand to make orecchiette, trofi, pici and more.

The day will finish with participants making a delicious pasta bake with all the offcuts (there's no wasting good ingredients in Vale House Kitchen!) which they'll be able to take home, along with a recipe pack and loads of tips and information.
