Traditional Sicily: Pasta and Pesto

Did you know that not all pesto is needs to be green? With origins in Sicily, pesto alla trapanese is a delicious result of cross-culture cuisine and a flavorful way to make use of fresh summer produce. Dating back to Italy's maritime past, Ligurian sailors would arrive home at the port of Trapani in Sicily after lengthy travels through Eastern Asia. It was here that the northerners introduced Sicilians to pesto alla genovese, or the classic basil pesto typical of Liguria. Having learned the Ligurian technique of grinding the fresh ingredients into a silky sauce, the Sicilians adapted the recipe with the use of fresh tomatoes and almonds native to the region. In this class, guests will:

• Learn all about Pesto alla Trapanese
• Participating in making Pesto alla Trapanese from scratch
• Enjoy a meal while sipping on a beer or wine
• Take home adapted recipes and wine/beer notes
