Sacramento, like Italy, is blessed with wonderful tomatoes.   In this class we will make two or three varieties of tomato basic sauces, flavored with fresh garden grown herbs.  These sauces are perfect not only for pasta, but also in ragus, stews, risottos, pizzas, and with other braised meats and vegetables.  Students sample the sauces with pasta in class and are welcome to take home the remaining ones.

Crostata di marmellata is a classic Italian dessert, often prepared at home. Many “nonna's" have devised their own family recipe, adding a personal twist. A cross between a pie and a cake, this dessert has always been one of Bertilla’s family favorites.
