Explore the art of fresh pasta in this hands-on workshop!
Join Chef Sara for a fun, interactive cooking class where you’ll learn to craft three popular pasta shapes—pappardelle, farfalle, and cavatelli—completely from scratch. Store-bought pasta is convenient, but homemade offers unmatched flavor and texture—and you’ll discover just how simple it can be to create these shapes at home, with or without special equipment.
From mixing and kneading silky dough to shaping each style by hand, Chef Sara 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:
Guests will prepare all three pasta shapes during class, enjoy one dish on-site, and take the other two shapes home. After shaping your pasta, Chef Sara will demonstrate how to create a delicious, creamy Cacio e Pepe sauce—a simple yet rich dish that highlights fresh ingredients and classic technique.
Whether you’re planning a fun date night, a family-friendly outing, or simply looking to expand your cooking repertoire, this class blends hands-on learning with lively conversation and plenty of tasting. All tools and ingredients are provided!
