Cooking Class: Perfecting the Preparation of Pasta

If fresh pasta is on your home dining menu, this in-person cooking class with Chef Janet is just for you! You'll learn how simple it is to transform wholesome ingredients into fabulous pasta to serve your friends and family. 


Start your cooking lesson by mixing together eggs, flour and oil to form a traditional dough, then cut it into impeccable pasta strips. Next, finely dice onions, mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes to prepare a rich Marinara sauce that will beautifully complement your pasta. Incorporate beef into your sauce for a meaty variation or opt to maintain a vegetarian version.

Chef Janet was very sweet hence the 3 stars. Almost don’t want to leave the review but wish I knew before I booked. The class was subpar at best. Not worth the money. The venue was a grungy bar, the pasta tasted meh and the whole experience was just uninspiring. I wouldn’t recommend, there are much better classes available.

Janet is incredibly sweet and welcoming! From the moment we arrived at the pasta-making class, she made us feel comfortable and at ease. She was attentive and provided clear, helpful information throughout. I loved that she not only explained what to do and what not to do, but also gave the reasons behind each step. it made the experience so much more engaging and educational. Her warm personality combined with her knowledge made the entire class such a positive and memorable experience. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave I highly recommend!
