Don’t just eat PASTA! Learn how to make it by yourself with REAL ingredients in your OWN kitchen with our classes.
Tie on the apron, roll up your sleeves, and learn from our master pasta artists how to make a variety of traditional Italian Pasta.
In-person classes: We provide all the tools and ingredients and we take care of the final clean-up.
Zoom: at this time we don’t ship materials but we provide one week before the event a list with all the ingredients and tools (we use what you already have at home, you don’t need to buy anything special).
