The first step in our class is to select and make use of the best ingredients, with a focus on the right type of flour, when to make pasta with or without eggs, and tips and tricks for each step from your expert pasta-making chef. We will knead, roll, and cut pasta into tagliatelle or taglioni and then experiment with different fillings and colors to make pasta like ravioli, tortellini, and cappelletti. 

No pasta should have to be alone! Your cooking class will continue with sauce preparation where you will learn how to match your pasta shapes with the correct sauce. Together, we’ll create three different delicious sauces for our pastas.
