Enjoy traditional Italian favorites beginning with classic panzanella, a toasted bread salad with refreshing summer vegetables in a light vinaigrette. Next, you'll prepare the celebrated chicken saltimbocca using thinly sliced prosciutto ham and fresh sage topped with a lemon caper butter sauce and pan fried artichokes. You'll also learn the art of potato gnocchi, a shaped potato dumpling, tossed with a medley of amazing sauces including fresh basil pesto, marinara, and brown butter with sage. We’ll finish with cannoli, a fried pastry filled with sweetened ricotta and mascarpone cheeses, served on a pool of warm chocolate sauce and garnished with chopped pistachios.
