The Cooking Class

Here is a long overdue copy of my notes from the cooking class :)

TIRAMISU!!:
250g mascarpone
3 eggs (fresh)
150g sugar
buy a coffee maker (decaf) and just fill it up it costs like 10 euros
in bowl A) mix yolks and sugar till it gets kinda frothy/bubbly-appx 5 min. then mix in mascarpone
in bowl B) whisk the whites till they have peaks
bowl A) put in 70% chocolate chips
put bowl B in bowl A ("in a friendly way") add some more chocolate chips
then soak lady fingers in coffee... and then layer it all up.
then put 100% cocoa on top and some more chocolate chips on that

Bruschetta!!!!:
rub raw garlic on bread, then toast.
chop up some tomatoes, put them on the toasted bread with dry oregano and sea salt

Tagliatelle!:

for each 100g flour, use 1 egg (100g flour and 1 egg= good for 2 people)
make a circle in the pile of flour and break eggs into that crevice.
add about 1 tsp salt
squeeze/mix ingredients together by hand
wrap in saran wrap rest 30 min

bolognese meat sauce (each region has its own) in large flat pan: red onions, 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, onions, garlic, red win reduction, pork, beef
-meat mashed w/ fork and add 1 cup red wine
let wine evaporate, pour a can of boiled tomatoes in -chopped
1 cup water in after the tomatoes
medium heat for 10 minutes, at some point throw in a handful of basil leaves

making the noodles after 30 minutes have past....
roll out the dough in parts with lots of flour. really flat, as big as a pizza. then cut in half, fold over, then roll into 2 inch section. cut in 1/2 inch pieces from there (sorry... dont know how to explain!)
put flour on top and toss. fluff and break up pasta till it breaks into individual noodles
in pot- 2 tbsp salt plenty of water

I hope this can be helpful in attempting to replicate the recipes! :)
Sorry that it is so jumbled and incomplete but its all i managed to pick up!

yummm.... tagliatelle alla bolognese...
