Alternatively, guests may opt for ravioli filled with ricotta, spinach, and Parmesan cheese, sautéed with extra virgin olive oil and sage leaves.

To end on a sweet note, participants will be shown how to prepare mascarpone cream for a modern twist on tiramisu, using homemade biscuits instead of traditional ladyfingers.
