Homemade Egg Pasta
Few kitchen tasks are more satisfying than making your own pasta. The reason people struggle with pasta is that most recipes leave out too many crucial details. You can spend years figuring them out on your own, or you can come to the pasta making class that will help you succeed on your first try. In this class you'll get hands-on experience with the egg pasta dough: kneading, rolling, shaping, and cooking. You'll learn to cut it into ribbons (like pappardelle and fettuccine) and shape it into ravioli. Sauces and fillings will vary with the seasons. Although one of the dishes might use meat, we can leave it out for anyone who is vegetarian.
