Description
There’s a reason Italian food feels like a warm hug: it’s built on fresh pasta, golden bread, and simple, honest ingredients cooked with care. As the weather cools, nothing satisfies quite like a table filled with homemade pasta, crispy chicken, and warm focaccia straight from the oven. Join Chef Za for a cozy evening of Italian comfort food and learn to bring the warmth of Italy into your own kitchen.
This class is about mastering the techniques behind a true Italian feast made from scratch. Chef Za guides you through mixing, kneading, and rolling a fresh saffron pasta dough, building a rich and silky wild mushroom cream sauce, and pounding, breading, and pan-frying chicken for a perfectly crisp Milanese. You’ll also learn to roast broccolini until tender and golden, and to mix, proof, and dimple a fragrant focaccia for a light, airy crumb and a crisp, golden crust. Whether you’re planning cozy weeknight dinners or holiday entertaining, you’ll leave with a complete Italian menu and the confidence to make it your own.
What’s on the Menu:
- Fresh Saffron Pasta Dough: Golden, fragrant, and silky. Saffron gives this homemade pasta a gorgeous color and a subtle, luxurious flavor. Chef Za shares the secrets to a dough that’s easy to work with and rolls out beautifully.
- Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce: Earthy, rich, and deeply comforting. A medley of wild mushrooms is simmered into a velvety cream sauce that clings to every strand of your fresh saffron pasta.
- Chicken Milanese: An Italian classic that everyone loves. Tender chicken cutlets are pounded thin, breaded, and pan-fried until golden and shatteringly crisp, then finished with a squeeze of lemon.
- Parmesan Roasted Broccolini: Simple, bright, and irresistible. Broccolini is roasted until crisp-tender with caramelized edges, then showered with nutty Parmesan.
- Roasted Garlic and Sea Salt Focaccia: The bread that steals the show. This light, airy focaccia is studded with sweet roasted garlic and finished with olive oil and flaky sea salt, perfect for dipping, sharing, and sopping up every last bit of sauce.
The evening ends with the best part: sitting down to enjoy the Italian feast you’ve made, from silky saffron pasta to warm, fresh-baked focaccia. Come hungry; this is cozy Italian comfort food at its finest, right here in Atlanta.
