Come learn the secrets of successful sauce-making as we cover a variety of recipes such as marinara, carbonara, bolognese, pesto, olive oil with garlic and alfredo. Using fresh ingredients, we will make three sauces each session. We will also discuss varieties of pastas, which pasta is traditionally paired with which sauce, and which sauces work best with chicken and fish.
