About This Event

Join us for this seasonal pasta making class!

Learn how to make pasta like a tiny Italian Nonna (or Nonno).

In this hands on class you will learn to make 2 different kinds of pasta dough then use your creativity to make colorful pasta shapes. We will demonstrate 2 sauces that we will serve with the pasta at the end of class. PLUS MINI CANNOLI FOR DESSERT.

Menu:
Fresh Egg Pasta dough + Beet Pasta Dough

Rigatoni - Butternut Squash Sauce

Farfalle - Tuscan Kale Pesto

Pumpkin Cannoli

All classes are hands-on. We have a collection of traditional pasta making tools from Italy and special pasta rolling boards.

We eat what we make! We will cook up the pasta together for a tasting at the end of the class. This is typically enough for a light meal.

NOTE: Classes are held at IL LABORATORIO - our Italian Cooking School kitchen located at 3101 Guess Rd. (NOT at Melina's Fresh Pasta shop).

All participants receive a Class Recipe Book via email after the class with the recipes from the class.

Please read FAQs below this description before calling the pasta shop with questions.
