07/22/2026 Cooking Class: Spaghetti alla Chitarra Two Ways

Discover the theatrical art of traditional Abruzzese pasta making as you master Spaghetti alla Chitarra two ways. Using the classic wooden chitarra (guitar) tool, you will press out two stunning and distinct styles of thick, square-cut spaghetti from scratch. First, you'll craft a fiery Peperoncino Chitarra, infusing the dough with spicy pepper and tossing the vibrant strands in a classic, aromatic aglio e olio (garlic and oil). Then, you will roll out a striking Chitarra Nero di Seppia (squid ink), pairing the dramatic, dark pasta with a quick, fresh Sicilian picchi pacchi tomato sauce for a beautiful contrast of regional flavors and colors.
