Handmade Pasta - the spread
Handmade Pasta

Sunday, December 11 – 4:00pm

The holidays are filled with get-togethers centered around cooking and eating. Certainly a favorite time of year for a group of people obsessed with food! But also an extremely busy time that already involves a ton of cooking obligations. We didn’t want our December event to add to the to-do lists and potential stress of the season. So we decided to make it a cooking party – no need to prepare a dish ahead of time. Just show up ready to put on your apron, roll up your sleeves, and make some fresh pasta by hand!

Lucky for us, one of our resident professional chefs volunteered to host the party. Alyssa planned the menu, had all the ingredients and equipment ready to go, and taught us how to make the pastas and sauces! If you’re interested in starting your own cookbook club, I highly recommend finding a professional chef to join 😉

We made 4 kinds of pasta dough – beet, spinach, tomato, and egg!

We used the beet dough for gnocchi.

We rolled the spinach, tomato, and egg pasta together – check out that beautiful rainbow!

Then used Alyssa’s yummy squash filling to make ravioli.

And circles!

Of course you can’t forget the sauces… marinara AND brown butter sage.

We stuffed ourselves trying every combination of pasta and sauce. And look how stylish we were in our aprons!
