Join us for a pasta making class in our BRAND NEW pasta making kitchen:
Il Laboratorio/The Cooking Lab
Come learn how to make pasta from Carmella - the owner of Melina's Fresh Pasta.
Fresh Egg Dough Cut Pasta & Tortellini
Learn how to make pasta like a tiny Italian Nonna (or Nonno). Learn how to master the art of crafting handmade tortellini. We will begin with making a fresh egg pasta dough. Next, you will learn how to roll the dough out into thin sheets. Once you become an expert pasta roller, you will move onto making fresh tortellini. Ring shaped Tortellini are a regional specialty of the Emilia-Romagna region.
Bonus Pasta - We will make Spoja Lorda - Dirty Pasta - with the leftover filling and pasta just like they do in Italy.
At the end of the class, we will eat what we make with 2 sauces to accompany the pasta!

Classes are held at IL LABORATORIO - our new pasta making kitchen located at 3101 Guess Rd. (NOT the pasta shop).
All participants receive a Melina’s Fresh Pasta Recipe Book via email after the class with the recipes from the class.
