Sunday: Fresh Pasta Basics in collaboration with Local Roots at the New Amsterdam Market

New Amsterdam Market and Local Roots NYC are pleased to introduce a series of basic cooking classes at the New Amsterdam Market School, from knife skills to making fresh pasta to butchering fish. On August 12, join Chef Will Griffin, formerly at Lincoln Ristorante and co-founder of I8NY, for a Fresh Pasta Basics.

Learn to make fresh pasta from start to finish. Each student will walk out with at least one ball of pasta dough to cook at home. Once you see the technique and pick up the finesse, you'll discover how easy it is to build a meal around fresh pasta. It doesn't take long either!

Topics include:
Mixing and kneading dough by hand
Rolling and cutting fettucine, tagliatelle and pappardelle
Techniques for filled pasta such as ravioli and agnolotti if time allows
