Handcrafted Tortellini Workshop!

Discover the joy of making fresh, handcrafted tortellini from start to finish! Join Chef Tess in one of her newest hands-on cook-along experiences, where you will learn how to make delicate pasta dough from scratch. You'll roll, fill, and shape your own tortellini with scratch-made fillings.

We’ll begin by preparing a rich, creamy three-cheese filling, which becomes the foundation for two delicious variations: a savory mushroom and 3-cheese filling bursting with umami—with the option to substitute spinach for the mushrooms—and a hearty Italian sausage and 3-cheese filling for those who prefer a more robust option. Chef Tess will guide you through the process of stuffing and shaping the tortellini step-by-step, then cooking them to perfection with a velvety scratch-made cream sauce for a truly authentic experience.

Regardless of your culinary background, this class will empower you with the artistry and assurance to create exquisite, homemade tortellini that delights every time.

Equipment Needs: An inexpensive pasta roller is highly recommended, but not required. A stand mixer for the dough, and a food processor for the meat filling are also recommended, but not required. More info will be provided in the ingredient list packet.

The registration fee covers immediate family members living in the same household only. If children are participating, adult supervision is required.

The week of class, you will receive an email with an ingredient and supply list, prep packet, and Zoom link. A few days after class, you will receive an additional email with the recipes used during the session.

Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking since she was roughly six years old -- well over forty years. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using one's senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with one's own hands and creativity, was, and continues to be, an expression of love in her home. As a skilled home-cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. She has recently started writing her first cookbook, and has a food blog in the works.
