Day 1: Monreale and Palermo home cooking course (max
6 hours)
Welcome to the beautiful island and in the amazing capital of Sicily:
Palermo. Today our driver guide
will show us
where the Arab-Norman art and architecture reached the pinnacle of its glory
with the Monreale Duomo, launched in 1174 by William II. Scenes
from the Old and New Testaments are depicted in golden mosaics covering the
interior.
Then transfer
to Donna Franca's home.
Upon arrival
a brief recipe introduction, then start the Cooking Course:
everybody will have 1 small egg, 100 gr (4/5
cup) White flour and ¼ tsp salt ... put the flour in a mound on the
table...create a crater in the top of the flour mound and add the egg(s) and
salt...knead until the dough is compact and well mixed....be careful not to
overwork the dough....then wrap the dough in a towel (otherwise it will
become too dry and difficult to work with)....prepare your Ricotta Cheese
filling....two hours later ....
the ravioli are ready to cook!
Fill a large pot with water and salt
well....when water boils, add the ravioli and a spoon of olive oil (to
prevent the pasta from sticking together)....fresh, handmade pasta requires
only about 10 minutes to cook....once pasta is cooked, drain it using a
strainer...now plate the ravioli and dress it with fresh tomato sauce,
parmesan cheese, and fresh basil leafs.
BUON APPETITO!
