Cooking Class: Bow Tie Pasta Making With Chef Donna

Bring a little bit of Italy to your kitchen with this hands-on pasta cooking class.


Class begins by learning how to make fresh pasta dough with flour, eggs, olive oil and salt. Then, learn the technique to knead the dough and roll it out into sheets. Next, Chef Donna will teach you how to cut the pasta and create the bow-tie shape by hand. Once the pasta boils, top it with a flavorful sauce made with sun-dried tomatoes, earthy pesto and creamy goat cheese. Garnish with arugula and dive into your handcrafted feast.

We had a wonderful time at Chef Donna's cooking class! She arranged such a lovely evening for us - she thought of all the details and provided everything that we needed from the aprons to the moody music. We made three-cheese ravioli in special sauce that tasted like it came straight from Nonna's kitchen in Italy. We were taught how to roll out pasta dough, shape and cut the ravioli. What an experience! Afterwards, we got to enjoy the fruits of our labor and enjoy dinner at a cute table that Chef Donna set up for us by candlelight. This is the perfect date night idea, girl's night, or if you just want to learn how to make a special meal! Chef Donna is a great instructor, she will provide as little or as much guidance as you need, and she is energetic and engaging! Would highly recommend for a future event!
