Handmade Pasta with Leta - 3/13/22
Join Leta Norton, chef and pasta maker extraordinaire, for an evening of mixing, rolling, shaping and eating delicious pasta! This class will focus on handmade dough with semola flour and water. We’ll be making dough from scratch, talk about different types of pasta doughs, cover info on sourcing the best ingredients, and get plenty of hand-on time to shape.
What to expect:
Class will include all instruction, tools, recipes and ingredients.
Our dough will contain wheat flour.
There will be some demo, and lots of time for hands-on pasta shaping.
Class will end with generous samples of pasta, and each participant will leave with a box of the pasta they made during class.
CLASS DATE: Tuesday, March 13th — 6:00 - 8:00pm
