This is the class to take when you want to actually understand pasta. At this hands-on cooking experience in Chicago, Illinois, you'll mix, knead, and roll your own Tagliatelle dough from scratch, learning the techniques that make the difference between perfectly silky noodles and something that just sort of resembles pasta. Once the dough is resting, you'll pivot to building a fresh tomato basil pomodoro sauce with tomatoes, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and Italian seasoning cooked into something that will make you question why you ever used jarred sauce.

BYOB (beer, wine, and champagne welcome for guests 21 and over), so come ready to pour a glass and settle in. All skill levels are welcome and all ingredients and equipment are provided. This is a great pick for date night, a fun outing with friends, or anyone who wants to walk away with a genuinely useful kitchen skill.
