The pasta lesson was delivered with exceptional organization, quality and atmosphere . Each student got their own set up with all the necessary equipment…flour, egg, cutting board, pasta machine, apron and Aurora was an amazing translator throughout the lesson.
We were then able to enjoy the final 2 dishes.(.fettuccini with traditional sauce and stuffed ricotta spinach ravioli ) with nona Margherita and Aurora. Dinner conversation was wonderful!!
Thank you Nona Margherita and Aurora for this exceptional experience. I will be purchasing my pasta board as soon as I get back home.
