Chef Ben was awesome! We had so much fun making pasta. He clearly explained the steps, answered questions, and was available to help. The pasta and marinara sauce was delicious!

This class is fantastic! Chef Ben was a phenomenal teacher and made the class fun. (He also does stand up comedy). We learned how to make some of the best pasta I’ve ever had and Ben makes it simple. Great vibes, ingredients, location, and even better instructor. Thanks for a great time. Highly recommend!
