Icons of Eataly: Spotlight on Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe Cooking Demonstration

For the next 6 months, Eataly is unveiling a new project to celebrate Italy’s most beloved national dish: pasta. Named Icons of Eataly, the series will feature an ongoing program of special dishes, classes, and events dedicated to the humble combination of flour and water. Come and learn about June’s Icon of Eataly: Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe.

Join us for a cooking demonstration on how to prepare a classic Italian dish from start to finish. In this series, you’ll learn all the necessary techniques, from selecting ingredients to prepping, chopping, simmering and sautéing.  

In this demo, you’ll gather round the stove as the Chef of La Scuola makes classic Roman Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, or pasta with cheese and pepper. While the ingredients are simple, this dish can be extremely hard to master, but our chef will guide you through every step of the process. Guests will enjoy the finished dish paired with a wine chosen by our beverage experts. We cook what we sell, so you’ll be able to find all the featured ingredients right here in our store in order to recreate this dish at home!

Menu:

Antipasto Plate - Meat and Cheese selections from our Salumi e Formaggi Department

Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe - Afeltra Spaghetti, Genuine Fulvi Pecorino Romano DOP, and Black Pepper with a wine pairing created by our beverage experts.
