Learn to make & prepare pasta like a Nonna!
In your own home!

I grew up in an Italian-American house. Pasta was usually dry (pastaciutta), and coated with red sauce, with the occasional fresh pesto, or al' oilio was served from time-to-time. I remember when I was a teen and I began to pay attention to my Sicilian grandmother, Agatha. My options of pasta at her home became endless.
When I started to prepare pasta meals for my family I tried to keep in mind what Agatha had taught me. Variety. Pasta with sauces, olive-oil based pastas with vegetables, meats, fish... short pasta, long pasta, pastas in soups, baked in the oven (al' forno)... it became a way of life. As a huge fan of dry pasta, I rarely (and happily) ever strayed from packages of Barilla, or DeCecco. Then, there came the art of pasta fatto mano (pasta made by hand). Some delicate, some chewy. Long, short, folded, and stuffed. Gnocchi, ravioli, timpano... I could go on and on. Making pasta by hand is a wonderful art and so special when it results in a delicious meal for my family and friends. It's like playdough for Italians. In my pasta classes you'll taste the difference. You'll learn to cook some delicious, rustic Italian recipes. More importantly, you will learn the basic skill and foundation to create spontaneous pasta meals packed with flavor and authenticity. We are located out of Northern California at YOUR HOUSE!
