Old World Italian Handmade Pasta - Flour, Water, Love: Hand-Rolled Noodles

In this hands-on pasta class, students slow everything down and return to the most traditional way of making pasta. Just flour, water, time, and care. No machines. No shortcuts. Just hands, feel, and connection. Chef Keri will guide students through mixing and kneading a simple pasta dough from scratch, showing how intuition and touch are just as important as technique. From there, students learn to hand-form three classic long pasta shapes, each tied to a specific Italian region and story:
• Pici – thick, rustic Tuscan noodles with a comforting, chewy bite
• Strozzapreti – twisted strands woven with folklore and history
• Sagne ’Ncannulate – beautifully spiraled pasta from southern Italy, made to lovingly hold sauce

While students are shaping their pasta, Chef Keri offers stories and context for each shape, connecting the pasta in your hands to the regions, people, and kitchens it came from. Chef Keri demonstrates a simple, soulful tomato butter sauce, emphasizing how uncomplicated ingredients can create rich, comforting flavor. Towards the end of the class, students will cook and enjoy some of the pasta they’ve made, gathering around the table to taste the difference that fresh, handmade noodles make.

We'll end the session by enjoying the pasta you’ve created together—and feel free to BYOB to pair your wine or beverage of choice with the meal. These simple, flavorful recipes are sure to become a staple in your kitchen for years to come.

This class is perfect for couples, friends, or family members—make it a fun Dynamic Duo night out! (Please drink responsibly.)

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child (This is a BYOB class, so use your discretion.)

YES: Couples

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!) On Chef/Date Nights you will always have enough for two and generally extra to bring home too.

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
