Handmade Pasta 101

Love authentic Italian food but can’t hop on a plane to Italy every time you crave it?
We’ve got the next best thing! Join us for a hands-on pasta-making class where you’ll learn to craft fresh pasta completely from scratch- using simple ingredients you probably already have at home.

Under Chef John’s expert guidance, you’ll make your own egg-based dough, roll it out, and cut it into beautiful ribbons of tagliatelle and pappardelle.

Working in teams, you’ll prepare a classic Roman sauce- Amatriciana- a rich and flavorful combination of guanciale (cured pork), tomatoes, fresh chilies, and plenty of grated cheese. Chef John will also demonstrate a special Tuscan-inspired sauce designed to complement the pappardelle and highlight the simplicity and elegance of traditional Italian cooking.

To complete the experience, we’ll share our favorite local markets for sourcing fresh ingredients and the essential tools you’ll need to keep making homemade pasta in your own kitchen.

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 events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).  

The nature of our classes is set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only. For class related questions please contact our customer support team via email at hello@cocusocial.com. Our venue partner provides the space for us to conduct class, but our customer support team will be able to assist with any questions you may have related to this class.
