Kid's Kitchen: Hands-On Fresh Pasta-Making 101

At La Scuola, our mission is to spread knowledge of Italian cooking and cuisine to fellow Eatalians, both young and old. We believe that good food brings people together in every way, so for this special class, we are inviting junior chefs (children ages 6 to 12) and their guardians (18+) to our classroom. This is a perfect opportunity to spend some quality time together and learn valuable techniques that you can practice in your own kitchen, too!

Join us as the Chef of La Scuola showcases the true art of fresh pastamaking, demonstrating how to make and shape some of Eataly's favorite fresh pastas. Guests will get to try their hand at rolling out the dough and forming their own shapes, like Cavatelli, Fusilli, Orechiette, and Trofie. In this hands-on class, guests will make their own dough, experience a fresh pastamaking and cooking demonstration by our Chef of La Scuola, receive a beverage pairing (wine and prosecco available for adults 21+) with the demonstrated pasta dish, and shape their own pasta.

In this class, guardians and children will:

• Learn how to work with quality, seasonal ingredients in your own home, together.
• Prepare various pasta shapes to take home.
• Watch a cooking demonstration by the La Scuola Chef and enjoy the pasta dish they prepare, as well as additional snacks from our marketplace.
• Take home adapted recipes.

Please note that the ticket price includes entrance for 1 guardian and 1 child and a pasta dish for each guest.
