Pasta Perfect w/ Chef Jamie Chiarella-Copek Sat. May 24 @ 6:30

Forget the boxed stuff and those lifeless jars of sauce. Chef Jami Chiarella-Kopec is about to show you what real pasta tastes like. “Pasta Perfect” isn’t just a cooking class; it’s an edible tour through the soulful, sun-soaked kitchens of Southern Italy. You’ll get your hands dirty, your palate tested, and your ideas about pasta forever altered.

You’ll be rolling, shaping, and crafting regional masterpieces like Orecchiette from Puglia, tossed with garlic and broccoli rabe in a dish so simple, it’s profound. Sardinia’s Malloreddus follows, dressed in a rich, sausage and fennel ragu that feels like a warm Mediterranean hug. Then there’s Fileja from Calabria, tangled in fiery Calabrian chili pesto and cooled with creamy whipped sheep’s ricotta. And finally, Capunti from Basilicata, paired with a rustic tomato and basil sauce so fresh you’ll think you plucked the ingredients yourself.

This is pasta stripped down to its essentials. Flour, water, sauce, and a whole lot of love. Chef Jami’s experience and passion bring these flavors to life, guiding you through the techniques and secrets passed down for generations. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about authenticity, creating pasta that tells a story with every bite.

Limited to a select few, this hands-on class is your shot at mastering the kind of food that makes your soul smile. Come ready to knead, roll, and maybe sneak a taste when no one’s looking. Southern Italy is calling, and Chef Jami is holding the passport.
