In this hands-on Zoom class we will be making all-purpose egg pasta dough using a food processor to mix the dough and a pasta rolling machine to stretch it. Then we will learn to cut the dough into a variety of noodles and shapes, both by machine and by hand. We’ll get into details about how thin or thick your pasta sheets should be depending on the shape and the sauce. I’ll teach you how to properly store and cook your homemade pasta, and which shapes and sauces go together. And, we’ll make a classic sauce to go with our pasta.
You will receive recipes as well as a list of ingredients and equipment needed a week before class. The day before class, you’ll receive an email with a link to join the class on Zoom.
Other classes in this series are:
Semolina Pasta and Hand-Made Shapes
Ravioli and other Stuffed Pasta
Homemade Gnocchi
Showstopper Pasta (a rotating selection of “showstopper” pastas and sauces)
Heritage and Whole-Grain Pasta
All classes take place on Zoom and generally run for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Spaces are limited to 8 so that everyone can receive the individual instruction necessary to master pasta-making and shaping techniques.
Making homemade pasta can seem daunting but once you get going you’ll be unstoppable!
