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.

Chef Deanna was awesome! She’s an amazing chef & willing to share her cooking skills with all of us. We never made homemade pasta before & we did it. Our bolognese sauce & pasta were very tasty. Great venue at Grape Vine Springs Winery.
