WHAT YOU’LL DO
This intensive pasta-making class will teach you everything you wanted to know about pasta.
In this fully hands-on class, Chef Andy will teach you how to bring impressive pasta dishes to life. He will begin with historical information on the differences between the pastas specific to each region in Italy.
You will also get tips on how to incorporate local and sustainable ingredients. The fun begins with making grilled bread topped with savory prosciutto and sweet honey. Then, Chef Andy will walk you through the process of creating your own pasta, which you will then pair with your choice of seasonal sauce. Once the dough is ready, you will transform your seemingly simple noodles into decadent meals to savor.

I’ve taken other cooking classes before, and this has been by far my favorite. Andy made the experience fun and easy to understand. We learned so much about flavor, helpful tips in the kitchen, and most importantly - how it can be easy to make handmade pasta. Andy made his home feel like our own and we will for sure be doing another class in the future. This was the perfect birthday gift activity!
Daniel S.
Chef Andy was absolutely amazing. He welcomed us in with open arms and was really excited to teach us. He made the atmosphere so relaxing and fun that we all became friends at the end of the evening. We met another wonderful couple there as well and we became friends with them as well and felt like we all knew each other for so long. Chef Andy makes it all hands on fun learning experience and teaches you some very interesting and fun things along the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone and we definitely plan on going back to him for another class in the future.

Chef Andy did an incredible job during our pasta making class. He was so welcoming and informative. He is a fantastic teacher; I really feel confident that I could make fresh pasta at home now.
I recently took another cooking class at Eataly and have taken a handful of classes over the years and can say this was the best class I have ever taken. I highly recommend Chef Andy.

Truly such a fun & cozy evening! Andy made the whole experience educational, fun, and memorable. The pasta dishes were delicious, and he even tailored some of the recipes to our group.

Chef Andy was simply amazing, we can't recommend this enough! He walked us through making all of the basic pastas and showed us how to use the manual pasta machine (he also showed us the Kitchenaid attachment)! Andy was personable and gave us all the tips and tricks to be a pro chef. His apartment was nice and cozy, the perfect learning environment! We hope to be able to take another class with him in the future.
