Class Description
Join me in unraveling the secrets behind cooking three iconic Italian pasta dishes and their exquisite sauces: aglio e olio (garlic and olive oil), carbonara (guanciale and egg sauce), and cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper). While these recipes boast simplicity with their few, but high-quality ingredients, mastering the proper cooking techniques are often a challenge home cooks have trouble with. Fear not! We'll delve into understanding emulsions, how to prevent these sauces from splitting or curdling, and the proper way to cook, sauce, and serve these insanely delectable and comforting dishes.
