Twirl your way into fresh pasta bliss with a hands-on experience that turns simple ingredients into something unforgettable! In this pasta making class in Charlestown, you’ll learn how to make pasta from scratch and pair it with a bright, homemade pesto that brings everything to life. You’ll start by building a classic pesto recipe with fresh basil, garlic, cheese, and olive oil, getting a feel for balance and flavor along the way!
Then, you’ll dive into the process of making your own dough -- mixing, kneading, and rolling it out before cutting it into delicate ribbons for your own tagliatelle recipe. It’s tactile, satisfying, and easier to follow than you might expect, even if it’s your first time.
Once cooked, you’ll toss your fresh pasta with your pesto and learn simple plating techniques to finish your dish with style. This class keeps things relaxed, social, and approachable -- perfect for date ideas or anyone looking for fun things to do in Charlestown. Whether you’re fully hands-on or prefer to observe and taste as you go, you’ll leave with confidence, new skills, and a dish worth recreating at home!
Please note:
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. You will be seated with your booking party. Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price and will be available to purchase from the venue bar.
