Like virtually every homecook in the world who's ever enjoyed a plate of delicious pasta, you've probably yearned for the secrets behind that perfectly toothsome strand, that flawlessly silky sauce that coats every morsel, that flawless folding technique that keeps tortellini shapely and show off-worthy. You've read the books, you've taken the classes, and you've got your al dente game down pat, but what if you could take your fare to the next level by learning to cook Italian food from the best chef in the world?

No, thats not hyperbole; today the famed chef Massimo Bottura, owner and executive chef of two-time The World's 50 Best Restaurants number one restaurant, Osteria Francescana, debuts his first MasterClass, to help teach you to cook Italian like a pro.

In addition to tips on how to develop your palette and the philosophy that drives his cooking, including his passion for eliminating food waste by using every tasty morsel in some surprising compliments and confections, the chef's class will offer a window into a three Michelin starred Italian kitchen with recipes like Tagliatelle with Ragu, his beloved Tortellini, and Pumpkin Risotto. On top of the pastas, the chef is also giving out the secrets behind his world-famous Emilia Burger and even a sweet treat in the form of "Better Than Panettone" Soufflé.

For a sneak peek, here are some of the chef's secrets to spotting properly rolled pasta dough:

"To me, cooking is an act of love," Bottura said in a release. "In my MasterClass, we will reimagine cooking. I’ll teach you how to develop your own palate and bring to life your creativity and emotions through your dishes. I hope to ignite a similar passion I have for cooking in each and every one of my MasterClass students."

Bottura's class is available right now along with lessons from other culinary greats like Alice Waters and Thomas Keller for $90 for one class, or $180 for a year long all-access pass.
