“Nun’s ears” would be a more fitting nickname given that the lesson is taking place at the Sister Candace Introcaso Center for Lifelong Learning. Huck Beard, Pittsburgh Magazine’s longtime creative director, moonlights as a sfoglino, a fancy word for pasta maker. My fellow foodies and I spent the afternoon playing with extruders, gnocchi boards, ravioli molds, bench scrapers and brass pasta wheels all while chatting up a storm. A pound makes enough pasta to serve up to four people — or just me. Maybe my next Lifelong Learning experience should be a fitness class.
