$245.00

Join Chef Nicco Muratore for a hands-on exploration of the art and joy of fresh pasta making. In this immersive workshop, you’ll mix dough by hand, shape classic forms, and create both filled and ribbon pastas using techniques you can confidently repeat at home. Together, you’ll make hand-rolled garganelli all’Amatriciana in a vibrant sauce of crispy guanciale, tomato, fresno pepper, oregano, and pecorino romano; delicate agnolotti di zucca filled with ricotta and butternut squash and finished with brown butter, sage, and toasted hazelnuts; and pillowy ricotta gnocchi funghi tossed in a creamy winter mushroom ragù with parmigiano. The menu also includes a bright winter citrus salad of shaved fennel, blood orange, pink peppercorn, endive, red onion, herbs, and parmigiano. Throughout the afternoon, Chef Nicco will guide you through foundational pasta-making skills, bringing together traditional Italian methods, seasonal ingredients, and modern approachable technique.

 

At each Bella Luna class you will get the chance to enjoy Bellsong Creamery cheeses, sip a glass of something special, and gather around a beautifully prepared meal.

Nicco Muratore

Nicco Muratore was born and raised in Boston, where he got his start cooking at the restaurants inside the historic Fenway Park. He was introduced to Middle Eastern cuisine at Oleana Restaurant and Sofra, before joining The Montagu Kitchen in London’s Grand Hyatt Hotel and then Danny Meyer’s historic Union Square Cafe in New York. He returned to Boston to join chef Steven Postal’s team at the newly opened Commonwealth, where he spent five years working his way from Sous Chef to Chef de Cuisine. We know Nicco from his work at Mamnoon, in Seattle, where he became Chef de Cuisine in 2019. Since then he’s taken the menu to new heights, and in 2022 took over the role of Mama Group Culinary Director, overseeing the culinary teams at all of the Mamnoon-related restaurants. In 2024, he branched out from restaurant work and can now be found in the community teaching classes on fermentation and koji, preservation, and cooking with local foods. Outside of the kitchen, you can find Nicco gardening, hiking, skiing, or in the woods hunting for mushrooms.
