Cooking with an open heart and connecting with our senses. In this Valentine's Day themed class we'll make different pasta shapes with cocoa and beet powder (other colors will also be available) and make cavatelli using a unique pasta board specifically designed for this class! With this practice I invite you to experience mindfulness in the kitchen — a feeling of being in your body and fully inhabiting your senses: We will begin the practice inviting awareness to the present moment with mindful breathing, then proceed to make pasta from scratch by using just water, flour, and your hands. We will provide all the ingredients to make the pasta (all purpose flour, semolina flour, or gluten-free flour upon request, water), natural coloring powders, and some basic condiments and plant based sauce. Please feel free to bring your own sauce, cheese, or anything you like.
