So true, non Italians definitely tend to drown the pasta in sauce (although I do love my sauce to be honest!), but I think that from now on I will always toss everything together first before serving. I only occasionally did it before. I like to have a big bowl on the table and then people can help themselves – avoids wastage as well as I do have a tendency to give guests too big a portion. At least if they serve themselves then they can take the size that they want to eat ;o)

Yes it was a fabulous day. I really should go on more cooking courses as they are such good fun. The Italian one was very different from my recent one in Hoi An, Vietnam. Both good in different ways. Thanks for commenting.

P.S. People are shocked at how much salt and evoo we use. Believe me, you’re on the right track. Ken

Sounds like a great day–and great photos! Pasta classes are so satisfying. You know, I had completely forgotten that some folks dollop the sauce on top instead of tossing everything together, which is the way we do it. I also remember being shocked at how little sauce Italians use, in comparison to Americans, who often have a tendency to drown the pasta in sauce. Great post. Ken

As with your previous recipe of broad beans + lemon-infused ricotta with mint … another great recipe utilizing a unique combination!

This makes me incredibly happy- I definitely will be trying this (once my amateur converting self figures out a smooth way to convert this great recipe into cups!)
