First, we’ll roll tall, thin grissini breadsticks. Wrap them in a nice napkin or stand them up in a tall glass for a dramatic presentation. Pizza Rustica is a rich, ricotta-stuffed pie traditionally baked for Easter in Southern Italy.  This sturdy pie fares well transported to a seaside picnic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor sweets, we’ll make quite a few! First, the Torta Della Nonna: there are as many beloved variations of this tart as Italian grandmothers. Originally from Tuscany, this sumptuous torta offers a slice of Tuscan indulgence, with a sweet pastry base giving way to a lemon and vanilla-scented custard filling topped off with crunchy pine nuts. Of course, we can’t skip the twice-baked biscotti for dunking (in coffee or vin santo!). And lastly, a cookie from Siena: ricciarelli, which are popular for Christmas. They are rolled in powdered sugar and melt in your mouth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe’ll taste everything we’ve made at the end of class, rounding out the menu with a seasonal vegetarian salad, and toast to a job well done with a glass of wine!
