Then, master the technique of kneading the dough and shaping it into tagliatelle pasta. As the pasta boils, cook up a fresh marinara sauce with crushed tomatoes flavored with garlic and Italian herbs.

Chef Erin was very nice and had no trouble guiding us through our class. That being said, the entire class felt very cheap. Our first scheduled class was canceled 1 hour before it was meant to begin and we were only notified via email. On the day of our rescheduled class we showed up 30 minute early and were told by the venue that they did not think the class would be happening as they had a different event going on at the same time and had told Classpop they needed to reschedule. At the time of the event Chef Erin arrived and the venue made accommodations for us to have the class anyway - two of the attendants had already left. This meant that we were stationed between the indoor/outdoor sections of the restaurant on a windy day. We sat at two high top wooden tables on bar stools. The tables were covered with disposable plastic tablecloths. Our first task was to make the dough for our noodles and we were provided parchment paper to work on that had to be held down with duct tape. We mixed the dough in a measuring cup with a plastic fork. After making the dough we were tasked with mincing garlic, chopping basil and tomatoes. We were given small paring knives and had to cut directly on top of the plastic table cloth - no cutting boards. We were told to put aside excess garlic and basil for the sauce later, but we had no idea how much sauce we would be making, or how much was an appropriate amount for the bruschetta. We also used the paring knife to cut the baguette. After making the bruschetta, we resumed working on our noodles. We were given cheap rolling pins (ours was broken), and we rolled out our dough. We then used pizza cutters on top of the plastic table cloths to cut the dough into noodles. We were told it "didn't matter what size the noodles are". The next step was to cook them in a pot of boiling water. We added our noodles and were given a plastic toothed spoon to stir them. When the pasta was done cooking we started making the sauce, a can of crushed tomatoes and the leftover basil and garlic. We "seasoned to taste" using bottles of HEB spices. Our dinner was served on Styrofoam plates with plastic forks to eat it with. For $110 (on sale), this class felt incredibly overpriced.
