Spaghetti Masterclass

This hands-on cooking workshop dives deep into the heart of Italian culinary tradition, focusing on the art of crafting three distinct, authentic sauces designed to transform simple spaghetti into a masterpiece.

We will bypass pre-made ingredients and demystify the techniques, ingredients, and shortcuts that nonnas (Italian grandmothers) have perfected over generations, giving you the confidence to recreate these dishes at home.

The Authentic Trifecta: Sauces You Will Master

You will learn the precise steps for preparing and pairing these sauces with high-quality dry spaghetti:

Spaghetti alla Norma : The Sicilian Staple: Mastering the balance of sweet San Marzano tomatoes, the bitterness of perfectly fried eggplant (melanzane), and the saltiness of ricotta salata cheese. Learn to manage the acidity and texture of the sauce.

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio : The Neapolitan Essential: A deceptively simple dish where technique is everything. Focus on the slow, gentle infusion of garlic and chili flakes (peperoncino) into olive oil to create an aromatic base and the emulsification needed to properly 'cream' the sauce with pasta water.

Spaghetti alla Puttanesca : The Bold Flavour Profile: Learn to build a rich, savory tomato sauce using the potent, umami-rich combination of salty capers, anchovies (the secret ingredient), and olives. Understand the proper timing for adding each ingredient to maximize its flavour.
