Pasta making class at Sunset Island!

Hands-On Southern Italian Pasta Workshop — No Experience Required!

**This event is limited to residents or resident guests of Sunset Island. Participants will be required to present a Sunset Island resident ID or visitor pass upon arrival.

In this workshop, we’ll focus on rustic southern Italian pasta making, using our hands and a few simple tools—no eggs, no machines, and no special equipment needed.

Chef Laurie will begin with a brief demonstration of how this traditional dough is mixed, and then participants will work with pre-made dough earning how to shape several classic hand-formed southern Italian pasta shapes.

Each participant will hand form 8 ounces of fresh pasta, which will be packaged and ready to take home at the end of class, along with cooking and storage instructions so you can enjoy your pasta later.

This is a hands-on pasta workshop, led by Chef Laurie Boucher (@baltimorehomecook), former pasta chef at Cafe Campli and owner of Pasta Made Simple, which hosts private at home pasta parties, group classes, and team building pasta-making events.
