Celebrate the last hurrah of winter with a few rustic, yet complex tasting dishes with centuries-old roots in Tuscany—perfect comfort food for a winter gathering. Beginning with a fail proof egg dough recipe, we’ll demonstrate how to turn out homemade pasta for a Spicy Walnut Spaghetti unexpectedly laced with warm spices and a hint of sweetness. The main pasta dish is accompanied by a hearty Minestrone and Kale Pesto Soup and dessert of Florentine Carnival Cake—an orange infused sponge cake popular leading up to Easter.  We’ll discuss wines that pair perfectly with the aromatic menu and learn about culture and food traditions of Tuscany while taking a virtual tour through the countryside.
