PASTA WORKSHOP - NOODLES

Join Chef Matthew Cargo in this hands-on pasta class is all about the noodle. You’ll learn how to transform simple ingredients into beautiful, well-structured pasta dough and then shape it into classic noodle styles. We’ll cover dough ratios, hydration, resting, rolling, and cutting techniques, with an emphasis on understanding why each step matters.

Together, we’ll make and cook fresh noodles, talk through texture, thickness, and shape selection, and finish with simple preparations that let the pasta shine. Expect flour on your hands, a deeper understanding of technique, and the confidence to make fresh noodles at home without intimidation.

Perfect for beginners and curious cooks alike
