About this event

Join us for a pasta making class in our BRAND NEW pasta making kitchen:

Il Laboratorio/The Cooking Lab

Take a trip to Rome & learn how to make pasta from Carmella - the owner of Melina's Fresh Pasta and Il Laboratorio.

In this class we will make fresh egg pasta dough and 2 shapes by hand. Then Carmella will demonstrate 2 classic sauces of Rome.

All classes are hands-on and we eat what we make!

Menu:

Linguine & Garganelli - Fresh Egg Pasta Dough cut into spaghetti and shaped into Garganelli

Sauces - Amatriciana & Carbonara

We will cook up the pasta together for a tasting at the end of the class. Note: This is typically enough pasta for a light to medium sized meal.

Classes are held at IL LABORATORIO - our new pasta making kitchen located at 3101 Guess Rd. (NOT the pasta shop).

All participants receive a Melina’s Fresh Pasta Recipe Book via email after the class with the recipes from the class.

Please read FAQs below this description before calling the pasta shop with questions.

Il Laboratorio - by Melina's Fresh Pasta

Il Laboratorio - The Cooking Lab by Melina's Fresh Pasta - opened in 2024. Due to high demand for Melina's Fresh Pasta owner, Carmella's, pasta making classes Il Laboratorio was created to offer a dedicated space centered on Pasta Making Classes and regional Italian cooking. While making pasta will still be Carmella's primary focus at Melina's - this new space will allow for more frequent classes to be scheduled. Classes will focus on pasta and sauces from all 20 regions of Italy plus some Italian-American classics. Come learn how to make pasta like a little Italian nonna.
