Fresh Handmade Pasta

Description

There’s nothing so delicious as fresh pasta, made from scratch.

Escape to Italy for an evening to master the traditional dish, Fettuccine Carbonara. Learn the art of making this indulgent dish from scratch- kneading the pasta dough, creating its Fettuccine form (or linguini if you prefer), and then assembling the ingredients to make a traditional Carbonara sauce.

Our Chef Instructor will take you through a detailed demonstration, walk you step-by-step through the process of creating your Fettuccine. Our Chef Instructor will take you through the history and theory of pasta and Carbonara before we get started with our cooking. In addition to the handmade pasta and sauce, guests will create a scratch Balsamic Vinaigrette to enjoy along with a side salad. The best part is digging into your delicious meal that you expertly crafted from scratch.

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. 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 check in, especially if you’re part of a large group. Guests in the same booking party will sit and work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Chef Rich will have a welcome drink (wine or beer) available for each guest, but guests are also welcome to BYOB.

Our experience with Chef Rich was fantastic. We appreciated all the new tips we learned while making our own pasta and sauce. However, we will not be able to go back to buying box pasta again! This homemade pasta was delicious!

This was an incredible experience. Chef Rich made everything so easy to understand and so interesting to learn about. The food he taught us to make was amazing, and I learned skills I’ll use for the rest of my life. 10 out of 10 would do again!

This class was so much fun! Chef Rich is personable and takes the time to make sure each guest is attended to. He is excellent at explaining and demonstrating his techniques so that everyone has a successful outcome. The pasta was delicious. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to learn and have a great time doing so. I will be back for all of Chef Rich's classes.
