Join me for this hands-on class on Zoom to improve your pasta-making prowess. In this class we will be making semolina pasta dough, typical of the Italian South. Just semolina and water ~ no fancy equipment, no rolling out thin sheets. Instead, we'll roll up our sleeves, mix and knead the dough by hand, and then shape it into cavatelli, orecchiette, busiate, and trofie. I will also teach you how to make a simple sauce to go with your semolina pasta, and we’ll talk about a variety of other sauces that pair well with it.

You will receive the recipe as well as a list of ingredients and equipment needed a week before class. The day before, you will receive an email with a link to the class on Zoom.

Other classes in this series are:
PASTA 201: All-Purpose Egg Pasta and How to Cut Noodles
PASTA 301: Ravioli and other Stuffed Pasta
PASTA 401: Homemade Gnocchi (Potato or Ricotta, depending on the season)
PASTA 501: Showstopper Pasta (a rotating selection of special pastas and sauces)
PASTA 601: Heritage and Whole-Grain Pasta

All classes take place on Zoom and generally run for 2 hours. Spaces are limited to 8 to 10, depending on the class, 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!
