Working from the ground up, teams join together to create a main course and a side dish completely from scratch that is both satisfying and good for the body!

Groups begin with creating a salad made from the ancient grain farro. Farro has many health benefits over other common starches such as rice and potatoes, and it is easy to work with and absolutely delicious! Teams begin by cooking the farro in water until it is softened, after which it is combined with fresh tomatoes and various herbs to create the perfect beginning to a healthy meal!
Instead of using pasta, the main course involves zucchini noodles which the groups will form as a team. These zucchini noodles pack just as much flavor as their carbohydrate-heavy counterparts, and supply a double dose of nutrition as well! Once the noodles are created, our experienced Chef will show everyone how to create a flavorful avocado pesto accompanied by fresh sautéed shrimp for a dish that will make you understand how delicious healthy eating can be!

In this hands-on cooking experience, our chef will guide you through the art of making several traditional Italian pastas from scratch. Instead of preparing just one dish, you’ll explore a variety of shapes, textures, and techniques while learning how fresh pasta is crafted the authentic way.

Together we’ll create a true pasta feast featuring:

🍝 Farfalle – playful bow-tie shapes that are perfect for sharing
🍝 Penne – classic tubes ideal for baked dishes and tomato sauces
🍝 Gnocchi – soft, pillowy potato dumplings finished with brown butter and sage

Our Pasta Sauce Bar lets everyone mix and match freshly made pasta with a variety of homemade sauces. Some are prepared ahead of time, while others are demonstrated live by the chef so you can learn the techniques behind classic Italian flavors.

You’ll enjoy favorites such as:

• Pesto Genovese
• Cacio e Pepe
• Rich tomato sauces
• Chef’s seasonal specialties

By the end of the evening, the kitchen turns into a true pasta celebration, where everyone gathers to enjoy the dishes created together.
