making ravioli pasta dough | Classpop Shot

Orecchiette pasta shaping by hand | Classpop Shot

Venue of Chef Aaron from Minneapolis | Classpop Shot

Craft four pasta shapes from scratch in this fun, hands-on cooking class with Chef Aaron.

First, you'll learn how to make a traditional pasta dough with flour, eggs, salt and olive oil. Chef Aaron will teach you the technique to knead the dough and roll it out. First, cut the dough into ribbons to make tagliatelle. Whip up a creamy filling to make stuffed ravioli. Learn how to shape orecchiette, affectionately called little ears. And finally, craft hand-rolled cavatelli shells. Not only will you learn how to make the pasta from scratch, but you will also learn how to cook the fresh pasta like a chef. At the end of class, you'll enjoy a homemade pasta meal together, plus you'll take home some pasta to cook in your own home.

Such a fun class! Loved Aaron and the hands on class. He was so patient with me! Learned how to make so many noodles and a couple sauces and finished with so much food...that we got to take home! Thanks, Aaron for a fun birthday!!

Fun afternoon. Aaron was patient and encouraging. We all picked up some new skills & enjoyed the dishes we made. Space was easy to work in. Great conversations. We all talked about doing it again & potential for private group events. We took the French cooking class. We all want to try pasta class too, or any other class Aaron chooses to teach. Definitely recommend Aaron & Classpop.

His all-consuming passion for hospitality and professional expertise is evident in both his cooking classes and home dining experiences. You can come to him or he can come to you - either way, brace yourself for an unforgettable experience.
