If you're looking for something fun and different to do to celebrate your wedding shower or bachelorette party, consider a cooking class! A group of 8 of us did just that last Saturday evening. Nelly Capra (Los Altos Italian chef) at http://ornellacucinaitaliana.com/ will come to your home and teach you how to make pasta! She brings the ingredients, you work with her on a menu that fits your tastes, and together you make one big, delicious mess. To make your mouth water, we made gnocchi with a stewed tomato garlic aioli sauce, chestnut gnocchi with a gorgonzola, rosemary, and ricotta sauce (think gourmet mac'n'cheese!), ricotta herb ravioli with pine nuts, and amaretti squash ravioli with a parmesan butter sauce. Are you drooling yet? It was more than a feast and we even had leftovers as well as some pasta we were able to freeze. The whole evening lasted about 3.5 hours and we all rolled up our sleeves, kneaded some dough, and drank copious amounts of vino. The price is absolutely right and is on par with a nice dinner out.
