Handcrafted Tortellini Workshop - Online

Discover the joy of making fresh, handcrafted tortellini from start to finish! Join Chef Tess in one of her newest hands-on cook-along experiences where you will learn how to make delicate pasta dough from scratch, then roll, fill and shape your own tortellini with scratch made fillings. We’ll begin by preparing a rich, creamy three-cheese filling which becomes the foundation for two delicious variations: a savory mushroom and 3-cheese filling bursting with umami (with the option to substitute spinach for the mushrooms), and a hearty Italian sausage and 3-cheese filling for those who prefer a more robust option. Chef Tess will guide you through the process of stuffing and shaping the tortellini step-by-step then cooking them to perfection with a velvety scratch-made cream sauce for a truly authentic experience. Regardless of your culinary background, this class will empower you with the artistry and assurance to create exquisite, homemade tortellini that delight every time.

Equipment Needs: An inexpensive pasta roller is highly recommended but not required. A stand-mixer for the dough, and a food processor for the meat filling are also recommended but not required. More info will be provided in the ingredient list packet.

Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class to allow time for shopping. Have your questions answered by the instructor and interact with other participants as you cook-along. While cooking along is loads of fun, it is optional. Participants will also receive a copy of the instructor’s personal recipes in PDF format following the class. This class will take place on Zoom.
