If you didn't know, Sette Pasta House offers cooking classes. Unfortunately, they'll be on hold for…read morea short while Chef Paul serves in the Reserves, but they're definitely worth checking out when they resume.
Today I attended the lasagna class that I reserved back in December. Seating is limited, so you'll want to keep an eye on the website (and please don't take my spot, ).
The class was held in the restaurant and was completely hands-on, comma, which I prefer. I don't wanna just watch someone online, dash, I wanna actually be part of the process and make the food for myself.
For this class, the pasta dough was already prepared for us since making it from scratch would take too long, but we each rolled out our own pasta sheets and got them as thin as we wanted. Hand crank machine too. Fun.
I've always wanted to do this.
We made the bolognese sauce you see in the photos, while the pomodoro sauce had been prepared ahead of time. There were 12 of us total, paired into teams of 2, and everyone worked really well together.
It was such a fun and lovely experience.
We layered our lasagnas, sauce, pasta sheet, cheese, repeat. Properly done, easily three beautiful layers. I should have oiled the foil on top. Still delicious.
Once they were in the oven baking, we all sat down together for salads and great conversation.
We could also watch the chefs as they worked, which made the whole experience even better. It was a wonderful day and fantastic class.
When our individual lasagnas came out of the oven, they were hot, golden brown, and absolutely beautiful. We were given boxes to take home whatever we didn't eat, and honestly, each lasagna is easily enough for two, maybe even three people.
They do provide cardboard boxes, but I'd recommend bringing your own plastic container if you want something sturdier for leftovers. ** Their black plastic fold-over containers leak. I like clear lid snap.
I'm home now and still enjoying the experience. While I was there, I also ordered to go their focaccia flight and a side of meatballs. So tonight I'm having that with a small salad and reliving what was such a wonderful, fun class. If you didn't know about the cooking classes before, now you do. And I'd also recommend checking out Sete Pasta House for dinner sometime.
