About this event

Welcome to our Pasta Making Class - Southern Italian Pastas and Sauces

Owner of Melina's Fresh Pasta & Il Laboratorio, Carmella, and her family are from Calabria - right on the toe of the Italian boot. In this class Carmella will teach you the hand rolled pasta making traditions of Southern Italy.

Made with flour and water and then shaped by hand, these chewy pastas pair well with any sauce. During the class we will make the dough and shapes from 3 Southern Italian regions. We will demonstrate how to make quick traditional regional sauces for each pasta shape.

Calabria – Fusilli with Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino

Campania – Cavatelli with pomodoro (tomato) sauce

Abruzzo - Anellini alla Pecorara (vegetable sauce)

We eat what we make! 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 Class Recipe Book via email with the recipes from the class.

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

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.
