Pasta Making 101
Welcome to Pasta Making 101, where we master the art of creating both handmade and machine-made pasta. This class is designed for anyone who wants to dive into the rich world of Italian pasta-making while exploring the perfect sauces to complement each style. You’ll create two types of pasta: soft, airy ricotta gnocchi made by hand and silky tagliatelle crafted with a pasta machine. To round out the experience, we’ll pair these pastas with two distinctive sauces—one tomato-based and one non-tomato-based—showcasing the diversity of Italian cuisine.
Menu
- Handmade Ricotta Gnocchi: With ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic, and flour
- Luxurious Brown Butter Sauce: With sage
- Tagliatelle: With flour, eggs, salt, and water
- Marinara Sauce: With garlic, fresh basil, and a drizzle of olive oil
