Ready to master the art of fresh, flavourful pasta from scratch? Join our hands-on workshop where we unlock the secrets to perfect pasta, from flour to fork. You'll gain practical, versatile skills and take-home delicious fresh pasta and puttanesca sauce!*****
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This hands-on class is designed to demystify the pasta-making process, covering every step from basic dough creation to crafting a ready-to-eat pasta dinner.
What You'll Master
🍝 Dough Making Basics
We start with the fundamentals: learning the basics of mixing and the technique of kneading pasta dough by hand (a skill you can apply directly to bread-making). We’ll also explore modern options, discussing how to use a stand mixer or food processor.
🍝 How to Use a Manual Pasta Roller
Learn how to prepare your dough for the roller and the proper technique for rolling sheets. We'll focus on laminating—the process of strengthening the dough as you thin it—leading to perfect texture for any shape.
🍝 Versatile Pasta Shapes & Uses
You'll make pasta sheets, which are perfect for a next-level lasagna that doesn't require pre-boiling! We’ll explore options beyond traditional meat fillings, including delicious vegetarian versions, and how to use the sheets to make homemade ravioli and other stuffed pasta. We’ll also use the pasta roller's various cutters to make consistent fettuccine or spaghetti noodles. And we'll demonstrate how to cut fresh noodles with a knife.
🍝 Pasta Ideas for Dinner and How to Bring Them Together
We’ll whip up two quick, classic sauces that pair perfectly with fresh pasta -- Puttanesca Sauce, a robust sauce with few ingredients that comes together very quickly and packs a massive punch of flavour, and Carbonara Pasta, a simple blend of cheese and egg yolks, where the magic is all in the technique of putting it together for a creamy, authentic finish.
🍝 Handling and Storage
Learn how to handle your cut noodles, whether you are going to use them immediately or save them for later. We'll cover the use of semolina flour for dusting and how to create individual portion "nests" to store in the fridge for up to a week, or to freeze safely in freezer bags.
You will take home all the elements for a delicious, fresh dinner:
- Your homemade pasta
- Puttanesca sauce for two
This will be a 'hands-on' event and chock-full of personal attention
