PRIVATE GROUP ZOOM WORKSHOPS

2-hour and a 4-hour versions of these private workshops are available, all hosted on zoom or your preferred digital platform. There is a double camera setup that participants can toggle between, and participants are encouraged to turn on their cameras so Linda can help guide them along and set them up for maximum pasta success! 

During the 2-hour workshop, you will make two dough colors, one filling, and 1-2 pasta shapes, depending on your preferences. Participants do not need a pasta machine for this class, however if all participants have access to a pasta machine of any sort, it makes a wider variety of shapes possible, or should we say, pastable! 

These start at $400 including the first 4 people, Each additional person above 4 adds $30. 

During the 4-hour workshop, you will make make five dough colors plus filling in class and then turn the dough into several different types of pasta. Colors and shapes are customizable to your preferences, but generally include at least one filled pasta such as agnolotti, and two unfilled pastas, such as farfalle and garganelli. Ahead of time, you and Linda can discuss what you want to learn, and tailor the pasta shapes to your preferences. Egg yolk-filled raviolone, anolini, agnolotti, farfalle, pappardelle, garganelli and caramelle are all solid, popular choices. 

This workshop is priced at $600 for 4 people. Above 4, each additional person is $35.  

Note on equipment: Linda can customize workshops to the tools participants have on hand. If people do not own a pasta machine, you can create hand-formed pasta shapes using little more than a rolling pin, knife or other common household objects. For more advanced classes, it is handy for participants to have both a pasta machine and a blender. Often when people do this for corporate or party events, they purchase pasta machines for all attendees, which start at around $30. Please visit the Contact Page for recommendations if you decide to go this route. 

Note on ingredients: Most of the ingredients we use during pasta class are easy to find in grocery stores. The dough colors we make can be customized to use things that are readily available for all participants. For classes that go beyond several colors, some ingredients may need to be ordered online. Below are the six most common dough colors and the ingredients Linda uses to create them. Beyond the below list, 20+ additional colors are available. You can discuss this during class planning.
