What to expect

Take your pasta night to the next level in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Will, where bold flavor meets traditional technique. You’ll start by learning how to craft fresh pappardelle noodles from scratch using semolina flour and eggs. Chef Will will guide you through the process of mixing, kneading and shaping your pasta into wide, tender ribbons perfect for holding rich sauces.

Next, prepare a deeply flavorful oxtail ragù — slow-braised with garlic, carrots, red pepper, and aromatics in a rich, savory broth. You’ll learn techniques for building depth of flavor, working with tougher cuts of meat, and creating a braise that’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Once the pasta and sauce come together, you’ll plate up a hearty dish that’s as satisfying as anything you'd find in a rustic Italian trattoria.
