Everyone was teamed up into groups (was originally in pairs, but due to a malfunction in the planning and lack of flour - groups were formed). The ingredients were mixed - however, some of the students weren't listening properly and cocked it up. (No not Janine this time). Fiona and Carol were star pupils in this round.
The mixture was then gathered up and formed into a sausage, which caused excitement and Amie proved to be the best contender in holding and forming this chunky, long sausage pasta mix. The sausage was then cut into 10cm lengths (hand sized) and then fashioned into 6-inch manageable pieces.
A rolling pin was used to roll out these pieces to flatten them and they were used to make lasagne and cannelloni. We then moved onto the mechanical part of the lesson, where highly sophisticated catering equipment was used. Janine seemed to battle with her 6" rod, but the other attendees knew how to flatten the bastard, (yes why would anyone want to flatten it).
The second phase of the product line was learning to make the spaghetti and tagliatelle. Pots of boiling water were bubbling away as the fresh pasta was dropped in to be cooked.
A range of fresh and tasty toppings, created by gourmet chefs were on hand, to be added to the mouth watering piping hot pasta.
A total of R550.00 was donated to Freddie towards the funding of a new wheelchair.
IT WAS AN AWESOME AFTERNOON :-)
