Fresh dough, good wine and a table full of people. Learn the art of handmade pasta from scratch.
This isn't a cooking class where you sit and watch. You get your hands in the dough, learn the techniques, shape your own pasta and enjoy the evening around the table.
The same guide we hand you at the table. Every guest rolls the same dough — then the road splits: tagliatelle one way, ravioli the other.
Place the flour on a clean work surface, make a well in the middle and add the eggs.
The general rule is 1 large egg to every 100g of flour.
Using a fork, whisk the eggs while slowly incorporating the flour until combined, and it looks like a very rough dough.
You may need to wet your hands once most of the egg is incorporated to help it along.
Form а ball. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and pliable.
Wrap the dough in cling film or cover with a towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes, out of the fridge.
Divide the dough into softer portions, gently pressing and shaping each piece before rolling further.
Run the dough through the pasta machine, notch by notch, until it's rolled thin into long, even sheets.
Simple, silky ribbons made for twirling around your fork and finishing with your favourite sauce.
Dust the sheet with flour, fold it loosely, then slice it into ribbons.
Nest the ribbons on a floured rack to dry.
Delicate little pockets filled, sealed and ready to hold all the flavor inside.
Spoon small mounds of filling across one sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Lay a second sheet on top, press out the air around each mound, then cut and seal the edges.
Warm tables, flour-covered hands, music in the background and a glass of wine within reach. The workshop is designed to feel less like a class and more like a night out.
A glass makes everything easier.
Everyone around the same table.
Expect a little flour everywhere.
Strangers at the start, friends by dessert.
Use the machine like a pro.
Cutting the ravioli.
Team work makes the dream work.
The evening ends with your own handmade pasta packed and ready to go. You made the dough, shaped every piece and now you get to decide what happens next.
Seats are limited to keep the workshop small, relaxed and personal. Bring a friend, come as a group, or simply come by yourself.
