One-to-One Pasta-making Workshop

What a brilliant workshop! We had a great time learning how to make ravioli and have successfully made it on our own several times since. I wholeheartedly would recommend this course.

During this class, I learned how to make a simple pasta dough from the ingredients, methods, and certain tips and tricks necessary in different situations. I also learned how to knead the dough and use a pasta machine to roll them out out to the perfect thickness. Then I made a simple meat filling for tortellini. The hardest part was sealing them but by the end, I felt confident in finishing them because my teacher's guidance. I also made a simple yet delicious sauce to go with the cooked tortellini. Annachiara was my teacher and she was awesome. Her home is so welcoming and very easy to find as it was super close to a station. She offered wine that we partook in during the course and it was delicious. She shared many stories about her family in Italy and her own experiences. She was very welcoming and comforting. She answered all my questions and was super friendly during the times I felt I was doing something wrong. We enjoyed our efforts together over an early dinner. She even made a delicious cake. She packed the leftovers for me and I shared it with my husband who also approved! She gave me the confidence needed to make my own pasta at home. She also e-mailed me with many suggestions of things to do/see in London afterwards. Mahalo nui! Thank you so much for this experience.
