Hands-On: Pasta Carbonara

About this Class:
It’s time to get your hands messy! In this hands-on class, our Scuola Chef will first guide you through the process of making fresh pasta from scratch, demonstrating the techniques for mixing, kneading, and shaping the dough. After the demonstration, you’ll roll up your sleeves and try it yourself, practicing the techniques step-by-step to make your own pasta. Once your pasta is prepared, sit back and enjoy a selection of antipasti while our Scuola Chef demonstrates how to prepare the classic carbonara sauce. You’ll sample the finished dish prepared by the Chef before taking your own pasta home to enjoy and celebrate your hard work.
