Join Family Food Fight Contestant Concetta Pluchinotta-Varone as she shares a traditional Ravioli recipe from her home town of Ragusa with a deliciously curious twist…


1.5hrs | 10 - 30 Guests | $40 per person

Escape with us to Sicily as we teach you a curious classic from the city of Ragusa. Hosted by Family Food Fight Contestants, Concetta Pluchinotta-Varone, Concetta shares one of her most unique family recipes with you that you might not have ever tried before!


WHAT YOU’LL DO:
In this unique and hands-on class, Concetta will share their family recipe for Ravioli di Ricotta alla Ragusa ~ a handmade Ravioli pasta filled with sweet Ricotta cheese and paired with a savoury tomato and pork based sauce! Once Concetta has enlightened you with a detailed demonstration, you will be guided step by step to making an egg pasta dough from scratch, mixing together the “aruci” or sweet Ricotta filling, before rolling out the dough, filling and shaping it into Ravioli. Concetta will then demonstrate how to make a rich Ragusa style sauce which you will then pair with your Ravioli. By the end of this class, you will have gained the confidence to throw out those packet pastas and sauces and try mastering your own at home, while also learning an interesting new handmade pasta recipe to add to your repertoire!
