Making pasta can be more than a simple series of steps if it is done mindfully and with awareness. Smell, touch, sight, and taste come together as an anchor for attention and a source of wonder.
Preparing, kneading, stretching, cooking, and saucing or seasoning the pasta all become a meditative process. The body learns to enact its full sensory potential while the mind learns to relax. If it is true that we are what we eat, then a plate of tagliatelle is food for both the body and the soul.
This workshop is led by one of our mindfulness instructors at the Pollenzo Food Lab, the experimental kitchen at the University of Gastronomic Sciences and a partner of MensCorpore Experience.
