There is no better way to spend an evening in Portland than elbow-deep in fresh pasta dough, learning the kind of hands-on Italian craft that turns a regular Tuesday into a story worth telling!
In this pasta making class, you will learn how to shape three iconic, handmade varieties completely from scratch -- orecchiette, trofie, and farfalle -- using nothing but your hands, a wooden board, and a little bit of patience. No pasta machine, no culinary degree, no experience required. Whether you are hunting for the best date ideas in Portland, planning a fun outing with friends, or simply curious about how to make pasta the old-world way, this class meets you exactly where you are. Observers, taste testers, and enthusiastic beginners are all equally welcome here. You will also get to build an authentic Pesto alla Genovese using a traditional mortar and pestle, working with fresh basil, toasted pine nuts, garlic, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and good olive oil.
When the shaping is done, you sit down and eat what you made. You will leave with the foundational skills, the traditional recipes, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you can pull off a legitimate pasta night at home. BYOB is welcome, and we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to check in!
