What you cook, what you learn
The pasta class is where most guests start. It is the one Jackie has been teaching the longest and the one that sells out the fastest. You learn to mix dough by hand, you roll out hand-made pasta shapes on a long bench, and you cook a slow sugo that has been simmering since the class started.
The class is not about perfection. It is about confidence. By the end of the class you know how to feel when a dough is right, you know what a properly emulsified pasta sauce looks like, and you have a folder of recipes you will actually cook at home.

What you cook changes through the year with the seasons. Below is what is currently on the bench.

Questions about the pasta class
How much pasta do I take home?
Around 200 grams of hand-made pasta shapes and ravioli in a container. Enough for one to two people for dinner the night you get home. We also send you home with the recipe and the technique to make it again on a Tuesday.
Can I do the pasta class if I have never made pasta before?
Yes. Most guests have not. The class is designed for total beginners and Jackie paces it accordingly. The bench is set up so that you cannot get the dough wrong, and the team is on the floor to help you if your technique drifts.
Can I do the pasta class if I cannot eat gluten?
We have a GF pasta dough adapted for the class, however due to the kitchen environment we cannot guarantee no cross-contamination. We occasionally run fully GF classes but we still cannot guarantee no cross-contamination. Let us know when you book.
Is wine included with the pasta class?
Yes. Each class includes a glass of wine or a long drink depending on the venue.
Can I do the pasta class as a hens party or a private group?
Yes. Private classes are available at any of our venues from $1000 for a minimum group of 8 people. Send a private enquiry with your date, venue preference and group size.
