Pasta Clinic - By request only
​$40 one class or $90 for 3 classes

Put together a group of 6+ people and we can organize a pasta class (or a series of classes) at the farm. You will learn the art of making your own pasta. We can organize 3 separate classes or combine all the topics into one course - as you prefer. We can cover the basics of making egg dough and semolina dough for pasta. Then we will learn the basic egg-based pasta such as tagliatelle and move to hand shaped semolina pasta, such as strascinati, orecchiette, strozzapreti etc. Finally we will dive into stuffed pasta, including ravioli, cappelletti, borsette, curjones and more. The classes are designed to be taken as a trio but you can choose to take only 1.
