Pasta (Pappardelle)
Hand-rolled pappardelle and a slow ragù.
About 2 hours · Ages 9+ · Up to 6 families · $250 per parent-and-kid team
The class
What you make
Every team makes fresh pasta dough, rolls it out by hand with a long thin pin, and cuts wide ribbons of pappardelle, while a house ragù simmers at its station.
Fresh pasta dough
Mixed and kneaded by hand, then rolled thin with a long pin and cut into pappardelle.
House ragù
Crushed tomatoes, ground meat and a splash of milk, which softens the tomato and makes the sauce silky. Wine is optional, each station's choice.
A fresh salad
Made while the pasta water comes to a boil.
How it goes
Made together, start to finish
Every parent-and-kid team works at its own station, with an instructor guiding the room.

The finale
And then you set your own table.
While your food bakes or simmers, your team styles its own table for the meal: pick a tablecloth (or none), flowers, and dishes and serving pieces from our collection.
Along the way, learn where the fork, knife and spoon go, with a small guide at every table. Break the rules if you like, as long as you do it on purpose.
One award goes to the best tablescape.
