Cooking Class: Homemade Pasta Two Ways
Discover how easy it is to make your favorite pasta from scratch in this hands-on cooking class.
Chop fresh tomato and garlic along with aromatic basil to top sourdough bread and finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for a delicious opening bite. Next, you'll learn the time-honored techniques to whip up a pasta dough from scratch before kneading and shaping it into pasta. You'll cut thick pappardelle pasta to make a creamy homemade carbonara topped with savory pancetta and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Then, whip up a cheesy filling with ricotta and mozzarella cheeses for decadent ravioli finished in a tomato basil sauce. A decadent tiramisu ends the meal on a sweet note. Book your class today!
