Cook Like Nonna: Handmade Pasta Cooking Class

  • Hub of the Hills 8 Craig Street Mundaring, WA, 6073 Australia (map)

There’s something truly special about turning simple ingredients into something extraordinary — and in this cosy, hands‑on workshop, I’ll show you just how fun, creative and satisfying pasta making can be.

Together, we’ll make a beautiful pasta dough using only flour and water, and then learn several hand rolled shapes. This style of pasta is wonderfully forgiving and perfect for beginners. It's even vegan, so everyone can enjoy no matter their dietary needs. No special equipment, no fuss — just good ingredients, good company and a really good time.

What you’ll learn

By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel confident in:

  • Making your own semola pasta dough from scratch

  • Create classic pasta shapes with minimal tools

  • Understanding dough texture, hydration and how to troubleshoot it

  • Choosing the right flour, knowing where to buy it locally, and storing/drying pasta

  • Expanding your skills at home with additional shapes and variations

These are practical, repeatable skills you’ll use long after the workshop is over.

What’s included

  • All ingredients and equipment required is provided

  • Hands‑on pasta making and shaping

  • Printed recipe cards with clear steps, variations, troubleshooting notes and my personal tips to help you recreate everything confidently at home

  • Detailed handouts on flour types, additional pasta shape making, and a guide to Italian grocers in Perth (DIGITAL - emailed after class)

  • Apron to wear during the workshop

  • Small class numbers for individual attention

  • A delicious shared pasta lunch at the end of class with sides and drinks

  • Containers to take home any leftovers

Why you’ll love this workshop

You won’t just follow a recipe — you’ll build real, lifelong skills. You’ll learn how to shape pasta with confidence and how to bring a little Italian magic into your own kitchen. Whether you come alone or with a friend, you’ll leave inspired, capable and full of good food.
