This beginner-friendly pasta-making course is the perfect introduction to the art of handmade pasta, no previous experience required. Students will enjoy a fun, interactive culinary experience while learning traditional techniques passed down through generations. All ingredients and basic tools are provided, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the process from start to finish. Optional gnocchi boards will also be available for purchase ($8) for those who would like to continue practicing at home.

The class begins with a brief introduction to the rich history and traditions of pasta making before students learn how to hand-mix and knead their own pasta dough in a lively atmosphere filled with Italian music and hands-on instruction. While the dough rests, students are introduced to a variety of pasta shapes, including cavatelli, farfalle, fettuccine, and gnocchi, with demonstrations and tips for creating each one.

Participants are encouraged to explore at their own pace, trying multiple shapes or focusing on a favorite technique. Throughout the class, Pamela and her assistant provide personalized guidance and support to ensure every student feels comfortable and confident. The experience concludes with instruction on storing and cooking fresh pasta, and each student leaves with a container of their handmade creations ready to enjoy at home.
