Team Building Activity: The Ultimate Pasta-Making Competition
Dive into the world of fresh pasta in this hands-on team building activity. Under the guidance of Chef Deanna, you'll learn how to prepare authentic pasta from scratch and flavorful sauces to pair with it.
To begin the class, you'll learn the time-honored recipe to make homemade pasta dough using flour, eggs, olive oil and salt. Then, you'll master the technique to knead the dough and shape it into pasta noodles. As the pasta cooks, transform crushed tomatoes into a classic marinara sauce flavored with onions, garlic, basil and oregano. You'll also learn how to make a creamy Alfredo sauce with heavy cream, butter and Parmesan cheese. Finally, break into groups to test your culinary skills and improve communication and collaboration as you work together to make a unique pasta dish by mixing in ingredients like chicken, sausage and mushrooms.

Did not say it was a couples class. Had to share my cooking station with a random person and cook with them.

The experience was truly fun. The pasta dish was really good. I do feel that because of the cost per person for the class, a complimentary bottle of wine per couple would have been nice.

Great class and she showed us how easy making pasta could be. She handled the large class well and had options for us to make the dishe our own with seasonings, vegetables and lemon. I enjoyed learning a new skill. I was solo but the couples seemed to really enjoy cooking together. I will look for future classes to try another dish.
