Year 8 Italian classes cook with Piatto Perfetto

From cracking eggs into flour wells to spinning out perfect pasta strands, our Year 8 team recently mastered the art of traditional pasta making. As Italians ourselves, making pasta gave us a strong connection with our culture. It showed us the importance of keeping family traditions. Throughout the incursion, we learnt authentic techniques and vocabulary that have been passed down through generations. While working together we created our own fresh pasta from scratch. It was a fun, hands on experience that deepened our appreciation for Italian cuisine and the rich cultural heritage behind every delicious pasta dish. We are grateful for this opportunity, which allowed us to celebrate our culture and create lasting memories. (8.4 – Aurora and Sienna) 

It was a great experience and I enjoyed learning how to make pasta – it’s so easy! My favourite part was eating it! (8.6 – Alektra)

Making fresh pasta was such a fun and memorable experience as now I know how to make pasta from scratch and can show my parents. It was very yummy with the fresh red sauce! (8.6 – Olivia)

From the Year 8 teachers of Italian, we commend the five Year 8 Italian classes on their participation and full immersion on the day, from using the language to following the instructions. We hope they have learnt a very important part of Italian culture – enjoying cooking and eating!!

Brave ragazze!
