Grab your team and book an evening to learn one of the most valuable and entertaining culinary skills around, creating fresh pasta! Once you have experienced freshly made pasta, the stuff from the box will never taste as appealing, and you can learn to create this delicious Italian staple at the instruction of an authentic Italian chef while creating a memorable evening with those closest to you! This team building event is somewhat unusual, as the majority of Boston cooking classes tend to shun traditional Italian cooking, so this is a real treat, as just about everyone loves pasta!

As a group, you will learn how to make two different kinds of pasta from scratch. These are tortellini and gnocchi, both of which are absolutely amazing in their flavor and consistency. As we all know, it is not just the pasta that makes the dish but the sauce as well, so the evening will culminate in the creation of a deliciously authentic ragout! Afterward, the best part awaits you, which is enjoying a well-deserved indulgence in some delicious food coupled with a perfectly paired glass of wine!

Eating healthy can be delicious and fun! In this class, Chef Peredina strives to show groups that they can create dishes that are heart-healthy yet still absolutely delicious! Working from the ground up, teams join together to create a main course and a side dish completely from scratch that is both satisfying and good for the body!

Groups begin with creating a salad made from the ancient grain farro. Farro has many health benefits over other common starches such as rice and potatoes, and it is easy to work with and absolutely delicious! Teams begin by cooking the farro in water until it is softened, after which it is combined with fresh tomatoes and various herbs to create the perfect beginning to a healthy meal!
Instead of using pasta, the main course involves zucchini noodles which the groups will form as a team. These zucchini noodles pack just as much flavor as their carbohydrate-heavy counterparts, and supply a double dose of nutrition as well! Once the noodles are created, Chef Peredina will show everyone how to create a flavorful avocado pesto accompanied by fresh sautéed shrimp for a dish that will make you understand how delicious healthy eating can be!
