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. As a group, you'll take part in a mini passata‑making demonstration where you’ll help prepare, cook and bottle fresh tomatoes. Then we’ll use your passata to create classic sauces to pair with your handmade pasta. It’s simple, joyful cooking — the way it’s meant to be.

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.
