For almost 50 years, we have been teaching cooking classes to eager food enthusiasts in our community. For over 40 years, Italian curious carb lovers have sought out our help in learning the in’s and out’s of how to successfully make pasta from scratch at home.
Little known fact that we share in class; You, yes you, can actually make homemade pasta in your own cozy kitchen in the same amount of time it takes to boil up a box of Creamettes or Brilla (we do love both of these options and have them in our pantries at home)!
We’ve created this visual primer to inspire your pasta making journey. Hopefully we’ll see you in class soon for a few more tips and tricks to making your very best pasta ~ ciao!
