Cooking Class: Pasta Making With Chef Janet at a Local Distillery

Discover your inner chef in this cooking class led by Chef Janet, who will teach you that fresh pasta noodles always taste better. 


This engaging class covers pasta-making basics and expert techniques as you form a fresh pasta dough. Find the perfect combination of flour and eggs to make delicately risen dough, kneading it and letting it rest, then rolling it out to the precise consistency. Finally, cook your pasta to the perfect al dente texture, topping it with a fresh garden marinara sauce containing diced onions, chopped mushrooms, healthy spinach and ripe tomatoes.  There's even an option to add pan-seared and seasoned ground beef. Best of all, you can bring these skills home to make this simple yet delicious Italian meal for friends and family at your next gathering!
