Bring the flavors of Italy to your table in this hands-on pasta-making experience!
In this interactive class, you'll learn the timeless art of crafting fresh pappardelle completely from scratch. Guided by our expert chef, you'll mix, knead, roll, and hand-cut wide ribbons of silky pasta while discovering the traditional techniques that make homemade pasta so rewarding. You'll also learn the secrets to cooking fresh pasta to perfect al dente texture every time.
While your pasta rests, you'll prepare a vibrant, homemade pomodoro sauce using ripe tomatoes, fragrant garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and classic Italian herbs. You'll see how a handful of simple, fresh ingredients come together to create a bright, flavorful sauce that perfectly coats every ribbon of your handmade pappardelle.
Whether you're planning a unique date night, celebrating with friends, or simply looking to expand your culinary skills, this class is the perfect blend of fun, creativity, and authentic Italian cooking. No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don't already have them in your home kitchen. Our classes are relaxed, interactive, and designed to be just as enjoyable for experienced home cooks as they are for first-time pasta makers.
