Class Description
Discover the joy of handmade pasta in this fun, upbeat, and hands-on cooking class with longtime instructor Chef Vicky Lara! Whether you’re brand new to pasta-making or looking to sharpen your skills, Chef Vicky will guide you through the fundamentals of creating fresh pasta completely from scratch — from mixing and kneading dough to rolling, cutting, drying, and cooking beautiful homemade noodles.

We’ll begin the evening with Crostini alla Romana, featuring crisp toasted bread layered with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and finished with fragrant sage brown butter. Then it’s time to dive into pasta-making as you prepare a classic Italian egg pasta dough and learn the techniques needed to create silky fresh noodles at home. Guests will also learn proper pasta drying and storage methods, plus tips for achieving the perfect texture every time.

While the pasta rests and dries, we’ll move into a sauce-making lesson as you prepare a rich homemade marinara sauce alongside tender classic Italian meatballs simmered right in the sauce. To round out the meal, guests will also create a Classic Caesar Salad complete with homemade croutons and creamy from-scratch dressing.

To finish the evening on a sweet note, Chef Vicky will demonstrate an elegant Panna Cotta topped with strawberries — a silky, lightly sweet Italian dessert that’s both simple and impressive. Guests will leave class with fresh handmade pasta to take home and the confidence to recreate an authentic Italian pasta night in their own kitchens!

About Our Shared Cooking Experience
One of the things that makes our classes special is the community we build around every workstation. For most classes, each cooking workstation accommodates four people, and we thoughtfully pair individuals and couples together to create a collaborative, social experience. Over the years, we've watched countless friendships form over chopped vegetables and simmering sauces.
 
Most guests find that cooking alongside new people adds to the fun and creates unexpected connections. Whether you're signing up solo, with friends, or as a couple, you'll likely share your workstation with others who are just as excited to learn, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. Please note that if you registered with other people on the same order, you will automatically be seated together. If you signed up as a party of four, you will automatically have your own workstation for most classes. If you'd like to sit with another registered guest and you haven't booked your seats together, please let us know in the "Comments" section when you sign up, and you will be seated together and placed at the same workstation.
 
We understand if you'd prefer a more intimate experience with just your own group. If you'd like to reserve an entire workstation for your party, simply purchase four spots and you will be given your own private workstation in most of our classes. This guarantees your group will have the space to yourselves. Please note that a few of our classes have six people per workstation. These include our Sourdough, Sushi, and Tamale-making classes. Questions about our class format? Feel free to reach out—we're happy to help you find the perfect cooking experience!

Dietary Restrictions & Allergies
If you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, you must call 913-341-4455 before registering so we can discuss if a class is appropriate for your allergen issues. We’re happy to find a class for your needs if we cannot reasonably accommodate an allergen restriction.

• We are not a nut-free facility and cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
• Some dietary restrictions may be challenging to accommodate depending on the class menu. Many chefs must prep and portion ingredients and demonstrated dishes and substitutions are not an option.

Our team is committed to making your experience as inclusive as possible, but we want to be upfront about our limitations. The more notice you give us, the better we can prepare. When in doubt, please reach out—we're here to help you determine if a particular class is the right fit.

Refund Policy
We provide a full refund if you need to cancel more than three (3) weeks prior to the start of a scheduled class. You will receive an Account Credit if you need to cancel at any time within three weeks but prior to the class start time. Please note that any refund issued for classes purchased using a Gift Certificate or Account Credit will result in reinstatement of the original Gift Card or Account Credit and will bear the same expiration date. Account Credits issued for cancelations within three weeks of a class will expire one year from the date of issuance. We reserve the right to cancel a class for any reason, at any time, in which case you will receive a full refund.
