Working side by side, you’ll mix, roll, and shape dough using simple tools that are easy to replicate in your own kitchen. Together, we’ll create beloved filled pastas including ravioli, ravioli del plin, caramelle, and tortellini.

Along the way, you’ll learn techniques for transforming fresh dough into beautiful handmade pasta and gain tips for achieving great results at home. We’ll also demonstrate the best methods for cooking stuffed pasta so you can serve it with confidence. As a bonus, every participant will take home a ravioli cutter to continue practicing their new skills.

By the end of class, you’ll have a deeper understanding of traditional pasta-making techniques, practical hands-on experience, and the confidence to create fresh pasta for family and friends. You’ll also take your handmade pasta home to enjoy.

Each ticket includes a complimentary glass of wine upon arrival (non-alcoholic options available). Class size is limited to ensure plenty of individual instruction and hands-on practice.
