Fresh Handmade Pasta

Description

There’s nothing so delicious as fresh pasta, and creating it yourself.

Learn how to make the perfect pasta dough, and then use a rolling pin to roll out your dough until it's the right thickness to cut into ribbons of fresh Pappardelle. You'll also learn how to make delicious Garlic Herb sauce to pair with your handmade pasta. We invite you to join Chef Alex in this adventure of flavors! At the end of class, everyone will be able to sit down and enjoy their pasta together.

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, 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 (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check in. Street parking is available around the venue, as well as a paid parking garage at the Holiday Inn just next door. You will be seated with your booking party. The nature of our classes is set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. This class is BYOB. Beer and wine is welcome for those over the age of 21. To ensure the safety and enriching experience of all participants, we require children aged 14 to 17 be accompanied by a parent or guardian during our cooking classes. Classes are intended for adults 18+.

Meet your chef instructor

Chef Alex is a Peruvian Chef who’s been in the industry for over 12 years, both in Peru and throughout a number of restaurants and hotels in the United States.  He was born in Celendin (Cajamarca), a little town in the mountains of Peru, but he grew up in Callao on the coast of Lima where he learned all about seafood and the importance and beauty of fresh fish.  His love for Japanese food started as a fusion of cultures, or as the Peruvians call it Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese). He also had the opportunity to work with sushi in Miami a couple years ago, where he learned the importance of simplicity and respect for the traditional Japanese method.  Chef Alex loves all food and is also well-versed in pasta, as he had a little home restaurant back in Peru serving up fresh pasta dishes with quality ingredients.  He is so happy to be your Chef instructor and very excited to express and share his passion for the culinary world!

For XMAS I gifted my wife and 2 of our good friends with a pasta making class run by Chef Alex & his awesome wife Christina. It was an amazing and memorable experience. We previously attended one of Chef Alex's sushi making classes in 2025 which we still talk about till this day. Chef Alex is very passionate about what he does. He loves to share his love & enthusiasm for cooking and it shows. He is a great teacher that makes cooking fun. In addition to being a great teacher Chef Alex also made sure to accommodate my wife who is Gluten Free by providing separate ingredients and a different recipe specifically for her. He also gave us some great recommendations on restaurants for our upcoming trip to Miami. Our quad would absolutely love it if Chef Alex ever did a Ceviche class as we would definitely make it a priority to attend. 5 stars for Chef Alex & Christina!

I celebrated my birthday here with friends and had such a great experience. The directions were very clear and easy to follow, which made everything stress-free. The chef was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, patient, and engaging. The staff member who welcomed us was incredibly kind and accommodating. She made sure we were checked in, seated comfortably, and taken care of throughout the experience, even handling cleanup. Their hospitality truly made the celebration feel special and enjoyable from start to finish.
