Handmade Pasta Workshop: Cavatelli, Orecchiette and Foglie
Join Chef John for a fun, interactive cooking class where you’ll learn to craft three amazing pasta shapes - Cavatelli, Orecchiette and Foglie - completely from scratch. Store-bought pasta is great, but homemade is so much better and you’ll discover just how simple it can be to prepare these shapes at home, without any special equipment needed.
From mixing and kneading silky dough to shaping each style by hand, Chef John will guide you step-by-step, helping you build the skills and confidence to recreate these Italian favorites in your own kitchen.
What You’ll Make: After shaping your fresh pasta, Chef John will show you how to cook a delicious Sugo al Pomodori Freschi con Cacioricotta (Fresh tomato sauce with a cheese from Puglia). This simple yet tasty dish highlights the beauty of fresh ingredients and traditional technique.
Whether you’re planning a fun date night, a family-friendly outing, or simply want to expand your cooking repertoire, this class blends hands-on learning with lively conversation and plenty of tasting. All tools and ingredients are provided!
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).
