Pasta Making Party

In this hands-on class we will demonstrate the incredible new doors of flavor, texture, health, and possibilities that fresh flour pasta can open. You will get to mill your own fresh flour and make pasta and a sauce to enjoy at the end of the class with a paired beverage and bread. You will also take home 2-3 pounds of “leftover” fresh pasta to enjoy with your family and friends. Duration: 3 hours Price: $75 per person What To Expect: In our 20 person classes you'll work together with others in a fun, hands-on environment. You will not only get to make, eat, and take home pasta but you will get to learn about locally grown grains, mill the flour and develop your own blend for making pasta. The workspace is newly built in a renovated 1800’s mill building in Holyoke powered by renewable hydropower from the city. The Flour Mill and Test Kitchen are adjacent to each other and we will be working in both spaces throughout the class.  You will work with others in smaller groups, sharing workstations and equipment to make your pasta and sauce. Classes are 3 hours and include a simple pasta meal with several types and flavors explored. Everyone will bring home a minimum of 3 pounds of fresh pasta. You will be standing, cooking and working for most of the class with accommodations made for those requesting them. Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and have long hair tied back *Please notify us in advance if you have any dietary restrictions. If we are not notified ahead of time of any special needs, we may not be able to accommodate them.  Although cooking experience is not required, having a solid understanding of measuring ingredients and mixing doughs is recommended.
