Come experience an authentic culinary immersion into the heart of Italian cooking traditions. This hands-on class focuses on teaching you to handcraft tagliatelle pasta entirely from scratch, using the time-tested methods passed down through generations. Our skilled chef instructor will walk you step-by-step through mixing the flour and eggs, kneading the dough until it reaches the proper elasticity, and rolling it to the ideal thickness for perfect tagliatelle ribbons. You'll also master the technique of cooking pasta to the ideal al dente texture, where the noodles remain tender yet slightly firm to the bite. As your pasta rests, you'll prepare an authentic tomato basil sauce (pomodoro) using fresh tomatoes, aromatic Italian herbs, quality garlic, and excellent extra virgin olive oil. Through this process, you'll develop an understanding of how to layer and balance the foundational flavors that make pomodoro such a celebrated Italian staple.
This class welcomes all experience levels; no prior cooking knowledge is necessary. We supply all cooking equipment and the majority of ingredients, though most items are readily available at neighborhood grocery stores if you prefer to source your own. Our teaching approach keeps the atmosphere relaxed and genuinely fun while maintaining instructional quality. Whether you're someone who loves being involved in every element of food preparation or you're brand new to cooking and prefer to observe, assist occasionally, and enjoy tasting the results, you'll find this class suited to your style.
