About this Event

Join us for a hands-on fresh pasta making class!

Learn how to make Italian comfort food like a tiny Italian Nonna or Nonno.

Everyone will make their own pasta dough into shapes to make soup and Pasta al Forno (baked pasta).

Menu:
Fresh Pasta Dough
Lagane & Ceci - fresh pasta & chick pea soup
Pasta al Forno - Annelini pasta baked with cheese and tiny meatballs*

*Vegetarian option available

We eat what we make! This is typically enough for a light meal.

NOTE: Classes are held at IL LABORATORIO - our Italian Cooking School kitchen located at 3101 Guess Rd. (NOT at Melina's Fresh Pasta shop).

All participants receive a Recipe Book via email after the class with the recipes from the class.

Please read FAQs below this description before calling the pasta shop with questions.

Carmella is the owner of Melina's Fresh Pasta. "My parents, Giuseppe and Giuseppa, came to America with my sister, Rita, and brother, Rocco, forty years ago from Sinopoli, a small town near Reggio, Calabria, on the southern tip of Italy. I was born in Syracuse, NY a few years later and was lucky enough to grow up in the local close knit Italian American community watching my Mom cook meals from scratch, using ingredients my Dad grew in his backyard garden. After leaving home, I missed the homemade Italian food I grew up with so I took a trip to Italy to learn how to make fresh pasta. When I returned I founded Melina’s Fresh Pasta in 2010 and Il Laboratorio - An Italian Focused Cooking Class Kitchen - in 2024."
