Spend a pleasant afternoon learning how to make fresh pasta. This three-hour introductory workshop demystifies the process of making fresh pasta and gives you the confidence to repeat the process at home. Our ingredients are simple: flour and eggs. We’ll use a pasta roller & cutter to make fettucine and tagliolini . We’ll pair the pasta with two sauces, a roasted red tomato and sweet pepper sauce and an olive tapenade sauce. We’ll end the workshop with a sit-down meal. You are welcome to bring a bottle of wine. Children can also join this workshop with their adults.

You will also have leftover pasta to cook at home.

Seen in the image is fettucine in the background and tagliolini in the foreground.

This class introduces you to the process of making filled pasta, such as ravioli (square or round) and triangoli (triangles). We’ll use a mold and hand tools so you can experience two ways of doing filled pasta and we’ll use a ricotta and spinach filling. Suitable for beginners or for someone needing practice or a refresher. Pasta will be paired with a simple tomato sauce. Olive oil and parmesan will also be on hand for an alternative to tomato sauce.

Colour & Stripes

If you’ve taken the Beginner’s class, you can start experimenting with adding colour naturally with vegetables and spices. Each person participating in the workshop will work on one coloured dough. We’ll then join your efforts and create different stripe effects. We’ll cook the pasta and pair it with a couple of vegetarian sauces. This class runs with a minimum of three people.

Just as the pictures show, this is a tubular pasta, similar to penne. The slanted openings and the ribbed exterior allow the sauce to easily get in while also coating the exterior of this pasta shape. Making this pasta is very satisfying. This is a great class for beginners and children. When we’re done, we’ll have a meal of pasta with an eggplant tomato sauce.
