Discover the joy of handmade pasta in this beginner-friendly Italian cooking class in Berkeley! Under the guidance of Chef Mat, you’ll learn how to transform flour and eggs into silky strands of fresh pasta. From hearty pappardelle and elegant tagliatelle to classic spaghetti, you’ll master the art of mixing, kneading, resting, rolling, and cutting your dough.
Throughout this pasta making class, Chef Mat will share expert tips and techniques to help you recreate these Italian favorites in your own kitchen. You’ll then pair your creations with delicious sauces, like pork sugo, creamy Alfredo, and fresh pomodoro — the perfect Italian course.
Each cooking class begins with a chef-led overview, followed by small group cooking time and plenty of tasting.

Growing up in a family full of chefs and kosher caterers in New Jersey, Mat Wertlieb has felt at home in a kitchen since childhood. He first fell in love with the unique culinary scene of the Bay Area while working an externship at One Market Restaurant in 2000. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, he spent a year and a half in Boston’s busiest restaurant, Grill 23, before the pull of Northern California’s food culture drew him back. He has worked for the past decade at some of the most successful restaurants in San Francisco and Berkeley, including Lark Creek Inn, Farallon, Lalimes, and Gather. Trips to Italy and Israel furthered his exposure and passion for the various cuisines of the world. Chef Mat works full-time teaching classes with the Kitchen on Fire team, including his own guest chef classes, the 12-Week Basics Series, Knife Skills, and private events.
