HOW’S YOUR SAUCE? Joe DeNicola, executive chef at Ruvo
(63 Broadway, Greenlawn 631-261-7700 www.ruvorest aurant.com)
learned all about Italian cooking at the side of his grandmother.
The chef will share what Nona taught him about Italian sauces
in Sauce Making 101, a cooking class to be held at Ruvo on
Wednesday, March 23 beginning at 7 p.m. Students will learn
the fundamentals of – and hopefully master – five
Italian sauces: classic tomato; basil pesto; ragu Bolognese;
Amatriciana; and aglio e olio. “Graduates” will
get to sample the products in a five-course pasta dinner.
Price is $55 per person and includes the dinner with wines.
