Description

This interactive pasta cooking class in Chicago teaches you the techniques for making homemade noodles that surpass store-bought pasta. It is designed for beginners and pasta enthusiasts looking to master essential culinary skills you can replicate at home.

You will start by mixing flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt to create your pasta dough. Learn to knead, rest, and roll the dough to the ideal consistency before cooking it to a classic al dente texture. Next, prepare a fresh garden marinara sauce using diced onions, mushrooms, spinach, and ripe tomatoes. For added richness, you can include an optional pan-seared ground beef component.
