2 hours (approximately)

Once you have made fresh pasta by hand, going back to the dried stuff feels like a betrayal. Fair warning: that is exactly what this class will do to you. Chef Gehan walks you through the whole process from scratch, starting with a simple dough of flour, eggs and olive oil that you will knead, roll and hand-cut into proper fettuccine noodles. While those cook, you will build a fresh marinara from tomatoes, garlic and basil that fills the room with the kind of smell that makes everyone suddenly very interested in what you are doing. The setting is casual, the techniques are straightforward and by the time you sit down to eat you will understand why people who make their own pasta never really stop talking about it.

What to expect

There is something almost meditative about making pasta by hand. The mixing, the kneading, the rolling, the cutting. And then you boil it, toss it in a sauce you also made from scratch, and suddenly everything makes sense. Chef Gehan will get you there.
In this laid-back, hands-on class you will combine flour, eggs, olive oil and a pinch of salt into a proper pasta dough, knead it until it is smooth and elastic, roll it into sheets and hand-cut it into fettuccine the way it has always been done. While your pasta cooks, you will simmer fresh tomatoes with garlic and basil into a marinara sauce that makes the jarred stuff feel like a distant memory. Simple ingredients, timeless technique and a meal at the end that you will be genuinely proud of. No experience needed. Just show up hungry.
