Put on your apron and get ready to turn simple ingredients into seriously satisfying pasta. You’ll begin by preparing fresh pasta dough from scratch, then learn the hands-on techniques for kneading, rolling and shaping it into pasta. Next comes the good stuff: a creamy pumpkin-sage sauce made with pumpkin purée, cream, Parmesan, sage, butter, garlic, nutmeg and black pepper. You’ll learn how to build the sauce, season it and bring it together with your freshly made pasta for a warm, comforting final dish. No fancy pasta skills are required, just a willingness to get your hands a little floury. It’s relaxed, social and deliciously practical, with plenty of satisfaction when you finally sit down to enjoy what you made.

What to expect

Fresh pasta, creamy pumpkin and fragrant sage? Yes, please. In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll start by making pasta dough from scratch, learning how to mix, knead and roll it until it’s smooth and ready to cut. Then you’ll prepare a silky pumpkin-sage sauce and learn how to balance its rich, savory flavor with aromatic sage and other ingredients. You’ll bring everything together into a comforting pasta dish that tastes like fall in a bowl. The relaxed, beginner-friendly format keeps you moving at your own pace while you pick up practical pasta-making skills you can use long after the class. By the end, store-bought pasta may have officially lost its appeal.
