Make & Mangia: A Hands-On Virtual Pasta Making Class

Bring people together for a heartwarming and hands-on culinary experience in this Virtual Pasta Making Class, where guests learn to craft pasta from scratch and cook it up with a homemade rustic sauce.

Hosted live by an experienced and welcoming instructor, this 90 minute session teaches you how to create egg-based pasta dough, roll it out (by hand or with a pasta machine), and cut it into spaghetti-style ribbons. Alongside the pasta, guests will make a flavorful sauce from fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic, olives, oregano, and olive oil—building confidence in the kitchen and satisfying appetites at the same time.

The class is designed for all experience levels, whether you’re a first-time pasta maker or just in it for the sauce. Your host will keep things light and engaging, sharing helpful techniques, pasta history, and fun food discussions as the dough rests and the water boils.

Ingredient kits can be delivered to attendees’ doors or booked as a BYO experience, where guests supply their own items. This class supports vegetarian and dairy-free diets (vegan and gluten-free options are not available due to the use of eggs and flour consistency).

Perfect for remote teams, client events, or foodie socials, this experience blends creativity, comfort food, and connection into one delicious session.

OUR STANDARD EVENT FORMAT:

–> Your host welcomes everyone, introduces the class, and checks ingredients and equipment before guiding guests through the pasta-making journey.
–> Guests mix their dough using flour, egg, yolks, olive oil, and salt, forming it by hand and kneading until smooth before wrapping and resting the dough.
–> While the dough rests, everyone preps their ingredients for the sauce and joins in a lighthearted group chat—think favorite pasta shapes or sauces.
–> Dough is rolled out using a pasta machine or rolling pin, then cut into ribbons using either a spaghetti setting or knife technique.
–> Pasta is cooked in boiling salted water while the sauce simmers with garlic, tomatoes, olives, oregano, and optional pasta water for richness.
–> The pasta is tossed into the sauce just before serving—guests can plate their dish and admire their handmade creation.
–> The session wraps with a group photo, open Q&A, and the option to stick around for post-class chatting.
