The Art of Pasta Making: Cappellacci & Ingannapreti

London

Learn the traditional art of pasta making in this course developed by Le Cordon Bleu Master Chef, Marco Ardemagni. In this course, you will learn how to make fresh pasta, prepare cappellacci (filled pasta), and shape ingannapreti pasta. You will also learn how to prepare two butter-based sauces.

Cappellacci is a regional recipe from the Ferrara province, in the Emilia Romagna region with quite ancient origins. The first recorded recipe of a dumpling stuffed with squash dates to the year 1582, although then they were called “tortelli”, meaning originally small pies. Born from the necessity of the peasants to get a substantial meal from the poor available ingredients, they became part of the local tradition. The second recipe, Ingannapreti, showcases a more unusual shape of pasta, served with a very simple yet incredibly tasty sauce.

  • Make fresh pasta dough
