In this fun and interactive hands-on class, you will learn to make Fettuccine pasta from scratch, along with a premium roasted garlic tomato basil sauce.

All ingredients will be seasonally and locally sourced to make the perfect pasta dish. You will work as a pair to make each recipe, all while learning some knife skills and cooking techniques along the way. After all the hard work is done you will get to sit down and enjoy your delicious pasta. Feel free to bring your favorite bottle of Italian wine to enjoy with your meal. You can be sure the dishes will be satisfying for your stomach and your soul as you bond with your partner, family member, friend, or a roommate over this fun, creative, and teamwork oriented class.
No experience is required! All equipment and ingredients will be provided. Our events are casual and meant to be fun, relaxing and instructive, not hardcore. 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.
Please arrive on time. You are invited to BYOB wine, beer, or champagne.
