On a recent September day, Italian-born Romolo Marcoccio, who teaches math at Lewiston High School for a living, put an apron over his shirt and tie and demonstrated how to make pasta. Within minutes, he had mixed eggs and flour into a dough and sent it through a pasta machine. Ecco! Out came lasagna noodles.

Next month, Marcoccio is repeating a sold-out course he led last year for Lewiston Adult Education: “Let’s Speak Pasta. “This is season two,” Marcoccio said with a smile. The two-night, $25 course is one of several cooking classes planned for the Lewiston Adult Education program this fall — classes that usually fill up.
